It's not actually sticking shut It's not closing. The mechanism that closes around the post is stuck. I sprayed them with penetrating oil, then put on some lithium grease. Still seems to be not closing. Wondering if I need to change the cables?
Just a little post script. This truck which I just bought is already nickel and dimeing me to death. Only had it 3 months, already have had to replace the 4x4 switch, rear window, passenger side mirror, now maybe cables in the tailgate. What a pain in the ass! Chevy needs to put better quality stuff on thier trucks. Not sure I'll ever buy another one!
