Tailgate Not Latching

[Spindrive]

Anyone else have their tailgate not latch after opening?

I live in MN so not sure if it’s a combo of cold and water, or a failing unlock motor.

I took the work panel off the top of tailgate and manually reset the latch.


With that being said. Anyone else have this issue?

The black rubber things that sit between the tailgate and the truck body at both sides on the top - are they both seated ok? Does it latch if you unscrew and remove both of them? I had an issue with one of mine preventing the tailgate to be closed

Yes - it was solely an issue of the actuator inside the tailgate not resetting after it’s “opened”


With the tailgate down, the latch on the side of tailgate could be manipulated, but would not stay latched or in the closed position
