Followed your suggestions, hosing debris (from firewood haul ) through cracks along sides, it opened! Then along inside track released some stuck chips and one rock, did not have to remove backing!!! Whew, works now and totally appreciate your informative tutorial (I'm a chick and wasn't sure if I take it as far as you did). Hallelujah and thanks again
@@staffordvideoproductions5788 Have to admit to feeling lifted up (with your help) at self sufficiency lolz cause problem is, I'm tooless! Kudos to you again for passing on the info.
Had to pry the plastic off the inside of my stuck tailgate with a piece of lumber. Sprayed the locking mechanisms with wd40, sprayed with car wash pressure washer. Smooth operation back!
Hi! I was hauling gravel and closed the tail gate. This was 8 months ago! I still can't open it. I took the cover off! I think the gravel is between the bottom metal of the tailgate and the bed! And that simply preventing it from opening! The handle to unlatch the side works and I can hear them click and the bed shifts just 2mm towards opening, but no more. It's stuck tight!
Just checking to see if you ever got your tailgate un stuck? The only thing I could think of is shooting some high-pressure air in there to try to blow something out. Most likely it’s got a rock stuck in the mechanism and it isn’t gonna go anywhere. One other thought is to maybe take a rubber mallet and beat the side of the tailgate trying to release whatever’s in the mechanism.
@@staffordvideoproductions5788 Thank you! I'm getting the latch grinded off from the inside. It's failed! I've ordered a new latch from Toyota dealership, but having body shop instal it for cheaper. Also their service is kinder and more enthusiastic about it than the dealership. Thank you for checking in. Just waiting on the part

Nice work! The center mechanism could probably be cleaned and lubed also. The inside panel is easy to remove.
