Do you have a single "tailgate wedge" that you could take a picture of?I have never heard of one but that doesn't mean anything.How have you come up with this term?

Are they the things at the top of the tailgate that lines up with the holes in the bed. I think I have them on my tailgate I will take a picture tonight. I know on my truck they where bent out a little and the gate would not come down I bent them in a little and it worked better.

Isn't that when you're climbing over the tailgate and you slip, landing on your.... You get the picture.
