Hello I have the same problem most people If not all people have with the tailgate on their first gen Ranger were I can pull the latch all the way up and it not open. I know the trick of putting a screwdriver on both sides to open the tailgate, but was wondering if there is any way to repair it by replacing the latch or the rods and if there is how to do so . I know there are little tabs looking things on the bottom that look like they can fip to take it apart but don't want to try and mess it up. I know there are the three star head screws at the top holding the latch there are the only screws left i have all ready taking the screws out holding the back plate with the ford logo on the both right so I could get the FORD stamped metal. And just need some help cant find any info on it anywhere.
