Default loose tailgate

Is there any way to adjust the tailgate. Mine has alot of play in it when it's shut.

Loosen the striker pins and adjust them forward.

Haha... Thats one way. The other way is the way the guy I bought mine from did is just buy "peel n stick" weather stripping and snig up the void.

I'd go with the adjustment though. Weather stripping dosent hold up well at -40.
