ok...
so i spent a good half a day trying to fix this mystery...
I got my father in law around and I did as big rob suggested, i loosened the tailgate hinges where they mount to the roof and where it mounts to the tailgate itself and we tried pushing on it and tightening up the bolts....an issue i found with this is that we got it relatively flush when pressing on it and i managed to tighten up the roof mount bolts, but whilst tightening up the bolts that attach the hinge face to the tailgate itself, it seems to push the tailgate further out the tighter it gets.
I tried a couple of sets of hinges (mine and a borrowed set from a mate), and a combination of the 2 sets but no matter what we did (moving hinges in all directions) it wouldnt seal.
I even took the seal off the tailgate and tried that ( as it is a new seal and seems to be quite firm in the bottom corners)...but it still didnt help.
Tomorrow I am going to borrow a mates tailgate to see if for some strange reason mine is not 100% right (although it look to be fine) and try n fit it up.
Apart from that Im stumped!!
Ill pop a pic or 2 up of how it looks.
Any opinions/photos or anything that will help will be massively appreciated!
Thanks guys
