I have noticed lately that my back tail gate door seems to be letting in a lot of water. Is there any adjustment I can make on the door to get it to close tighter? Or do I just need to replace the door seal?

Chris, check the two bolts that hold the latch mechanism they might be loose. If so just push in the latch in so that the door closes tighter when you close it and tighten the two bolts. I'll send you pics to better explain this.

There is an update kit to replace the striker on the other side. This seems to be the only real fix (assuming your hinges are not fragged).

Check if the striker is worn, if it is do the update. This alone should fix the water leak.
