Is it easy enough to access the latches? Is the plastic bed liner held on by screws or the disposable pop-in holders?

Bedsides come out, bolts can be access by popping out the small circle things. Have to also remove the bolts through the tie-downs. Then it's just a matter of these bolts to adjust the position of the latch.

Be happy the car still drives. If the man doors don't sense closed, the car won't even drive.

I just had the latching issue happen and its notable on the passenger side that it won't latch. Also you can hear the car trying to do something on that side at unlock. I was given a July service date. 5 months...

Can you DM me the steps you followed to remove the side? also is it the whole side?

I did as suggested and hold the tail gate closed while cycling the open button. This seems to have held, at least for the moment. The tail gate is clearly "in" to far, so when the weather clears I plan to adjust the latch as suggested. I'll let everyone know how that goes.

Mine won’t latch when I hold and cycle the button. It closes but one side is clearly not closing. You can also hear the mechanism trying to do something...

I removed the liner and loosen the bolts. resolved the issue ASAP. Very easy to do. Took about 40min start to finish with testing.
