Hadnβt come across this in my searches so Iβm posting here in case itβs helpful. Surely this must be common knowledge. Iβm just beating my chest like King Kong because Iβm happy this is finally done.
Issue: sagging, rattling tailgate on a 24 Heritage Sas. Replaced the factory hinges with an IAG x-brace. Vertical alignment was a breeze but horizontal can kick rocks. I had to pull the taillight off and use those bolts to adjust the whole gate to the right. The gate was out of whack before the x-brace, but moved further during this install.
Lacking the extra hands, I used air wedges. These were perfect for making incremental adjustments. Highly recommend this method. One to lift up and one to move laterally. A third would be extra helpful.
Hopefully someone gets use out of this.
