Tailgate not lining up properly
The gaps between my tailgate and the back of the bed are not even. And you can see that the drivers side is catching when I close it, but the passengers side has at least a 1/4" gap. I don't suppose there is any way to shuffle the tailgate to the drivers side 1/8" is there? Or can I only bend the tab on the driver's side so it doesn't hit and live with the uneven gaps?

Re: Tailgate not lining up properly
Is the tailgate aftermarket? I would just bend the tab a little. Sucks getting the aftermarket lined up correctly.

Re: Tailgate not lining up properly
It's original. Judging by some old rivets and screw holes I'm pretty sure the original owner had a contraption built in the bed that pulled one side of the bed in a bit. I think the only thing I can do is to use a device to push it back out but I'm going to leave it alone.
