I've had this issue a couple of times on mine and I've found that the striker plate in the boot is the problem. If you open the tailgate take note of the position of the striker,,,, if it appears to be turned to one side the tailgate will not latch properly,,,, it needs to be pointing in a straight line so to speak. I took mine out, cleaned it up and lubricated the mechanism on the underneath. When refining pull it back towards yourself and nip it up, if the tailgate does latch but isn't quite lined up when closed just alter the striker a little at a time until your happy. 2010 RRS, TDV8
