Tailgate on 2004 Silverado not latching very well UPDATE


Recommended Posts

I've been spraying where the rods connect by the handle and one side has loosened up but the other side is still hanging up. Should I keep spraying and working it or do I dare take the bolts off on the box side of the tailgate. I leary to do the latter since I don't want to drop any parts inside the tailgate.

Mine did the same thing all you have to do is take the plastic cap off the tailgate and spray some WD40 on the mechanisms and it should be good to go you might have to just keep respraying and opening and shutting it. Mine would not latch and I would just keep slamming to closed and it would sometimes latch is that what yours is doing?

Yeah I can't tell a difference works perfect. You might want to consider buying the Bully lock kit and it comes with a new one made for the lock. I just got one for my new truck for 19 bucks plus shipping. I can give you the seller if you want I dont think I can post it on here but I can send it to your email.
