Tailgate latch adjustment
Does anyone have any recommendations on adjusting the tailgate latch? The left side will release but not the right side. I can reach over to the inside of the tailgate and push on a little release and open it. Then I can see that the right side release does not move as far as the left when I pull on the latch.

I would take the latches out. The arm on them that hooks to the linkage is thin and bends easy. I straigthened them and lubed them up. Worked great ever since.
