    Head unit. That's it.
    Put a hinge in, so it just swings freely. No latch needed.

    Mine had trouble latching when i bought truck i cut a hole in the composite cover so the rubber touches the metal no more problems.
    If thats not the problem you are having open up the back of tailgate and look a the internal rods and everything and see whats going on
