I was trying to silence the rattles from the trunk area recently and found some sort of linkage had come loose and was laying inside the tailgate. From looking at other cars, it looks like the linkage that exits the bottom of the door, makes a 90 deg bend and extends about 1/2 an inch. The tailgate still lock/unlocks and opens fine from the outside. It looks like the screws just rattled out, nothing seems broken. Does anyone know what it does, or where to reinstall it? Thnaks for any input.
