Rattling Tailgate

[VzVzVz]

Is the tailgate on the VZ ute supposed to jiggle back and forth when the tonneu cover is off? If not, how do I fix it?

Thanks

Tighten up the hinge bolts!
Or maybe there is some wear in one of them, in that case you'll need a new hinge.

the lock might have excentric hole that you can back off the bolts then adjust up the freeplay

Mine does the same, think its normal, it doesn't knock or anything when driving..

Yeah, thats what I was thinking, but when driving at moderate speeds, there is a noticeable rattle of the tailgate

If you loosen the two bolts on either side of the tailgate you will get a small amount of movement......should be enough to stop the rattling at least, I've done it on a vz.....
