tailgate wires
have noticed today that the left wire that holds the tailgate is not going back into it's hole properly, is bucking a bit and the gate is starting to snag,
anyone had experience with this? is there a fix?
I did search but it kept coming back wit the locking issue..
thought i'd ask before i went at it with the 7lb micro adjuster one wife.......livid

Happened to mine recently. Cable didn't retract and got kinked with someone slamming the lower tailgate on it. Quick easy and cheap to change apparently... dealer did it during normal service. 2005 D3 HSE 2011 D4 Landmark 2016 D4 HSE Lux
