Also, to align things correctly you may have to loosen all bolts on your bedsides and front panel to re-leave the bedsides. I used tie down straps cross-cornered to pull/move the bed side to align the gaps on that tailgate. Once I got the gaps good, I tightened everything up and removed the straps.
