Re: Tailgate Lock

OK that was a good tip. Had a good look at the lock striker (that's the "official" name for the bar thing) and it was definitely out of alignment at the top. Loosened the screws, realigned it and it appears to have been fixed as it now closes easily and without much effort. Not sure why but many of the screws on my metro cannot be turned by hand - not sure if are using some kind of power tool to put them on at the factory. My impact wrench with an impact screwdriving bit brought it out quick though.
