Tailgate Stuck in Closed Position HELP

[Ericb214]

Hey All

I slammed my tailgate shut after getting aggravated about ... not important lol

Anyway, it is stuck shut. When you lift the handle you can see the latch on the left side (driver side) unlatches) I don't know about the other side as I can't see it.

Can someone help me figure it out?

If you can get in the bed you can remove the cover panel inside the tailgate and make sure both rods are attached to the handle or if need be repair it

This is your only option, so hopefully you don't have a tonneau you have to break through....
