TAIL GATE
Alignment
Tail gate alignment is essential to insure ease of
window operation and weather sealing.
Prior to changing the alignment of the tail gate,
scribe an aligning mark around the tail gate hinge
plate, tail gate leveling guide and the tail gate latch.
Repeat this on both pillar posts. This provides marks
to show the amount of movement. Vertical adjust-
ment and

are
made at the hinge plate.
"In"
and

alignment
of the top of the tail gate is adjusted by moving the
latch

to permit ease of entry of the
tail gate glass into the upper run channel. Leveling of
the tail gate in the
"open"
position is made by rais-
ing or lowering the tail gate leveling guide. Lateral
adjustment to center the tail gate in the body opening
is controlled by the tail gate attaching screws under
the base of the tail gate.
Tail Gate Inside Handle Adjustment
Tail gate inside handle adjustment can be made by
removing the plug located near the rotor in the lock
facing of the tail gate. Loosen the hex bolt in the lock
assembly and adjust the ratchet levers to allow the
lock rotor to spin freely when the actuator rod is in
the open position. Tighten the hex bolt after the ad-
