Adjusting rear tailgate

Post by SilverFox »

Anyone out there who could advise me if it is possibly to adjust the rear tailgate on a 3 door? There is a bit of play when the tailgate is closed as if it is not locked down.

Your help would be must appreciatted.

if its the same as the doors u can use a torx screwdriver to undo the thing on the boot that holds it closed and hit it with a hammer a few nudges inwards

worked for more doors wen they had alot of play in them..
