The rear (tailgate for waste lorry) gets stuck in open position and side cylinders lock on a ridge, and must be forced to release.Fix for release?

If it works properly, it can be pushed into place. If not, it is defective.

Our truck did this too when we first received. I was afraid to force it but my 4 yo finally did and each time closed easier. Now opens, stays and closes fine.

I'm having the same problem, occasionally sticks open. I'm planning on calling the manufacturer to see what can be done. I'm assuming it will need to be removed and cleaned.

I did not have this problem, mine slid out fine. I'm not sure about a release? Sorry!

Try twisting the lid on and off. Sometimes that can allow the latch on the bowl to release.

You will have to have a locking tailgate. The cover is retracted by reaching under the right and left rear and releasing the clamps. No locks on cover.

We had that problem & found that the bottom horizontal struts were collapsed for shipping. There is a button on either side which, when depressed, unlocks the thing & allows you to slide it out to it's full wheelbase extension. Hope this helps.

Do you care if the lock rattles way back there in the tailgate hinge area? If not, throw it away. If so, use the bubblegum to keep it from rattling.

A wrench is needed to tighten the appropriate bolts holding the seat. Should solve the problem.

There is a socket head set screw on the under side of the barrel near where the hinge is . You loosen that screw and swap the barrel there is a flat side on the barrel that the set screw locks into. I would recommend going to auto parts store and purchase a small bottle of Blue Loctite to place a drop on the set screw to keep it from vibrating loose.

Hi Paul, Unfortunately, nothing can be done to avoid this. It's just something that happens with lugs. Thank you for the inquiry and have a great day!

Lift up on the bottom red handle. Pull up the sides to a semi locked position, then push down the bottom. That should lock the sides

I had this problem and just decided to screw the cover, the tailpiece which is supposed up slide on is what you are referring to I assume. Mine would just fall off because it wasn't crimped properly. You can try using pliers to adjust the edges of both the cover and the base if its important to you.

There is a cable that releases the latches on both sides. The cable runs through a square tube that runs along the edge of the cover except for about two or three inches on both the left and right side which is where you pull on the cable. I like this method because I just need to unlock my tailgate and I don't need a second key to open the cover.

I can not speak for all vehicles, but on my 2011 Wrangler I cannot open the rear while the rack is on the vehicle.

I have the same problem with one side not locking when stowing. It does lock when towing and that is what matters to me. I have the cover for it when stowed so it keeps it in place.

My pickup truck cap rear window has 2 positions, closed or near-vertical (which doesn't work with the tent attached). So I can only open the tailgate when the tent is attached.
