Tailgate latch adjustment?

[MGV]

Hi all, anyone know if the catch/latch for the tailgate can be adjusted to pull it down a little firmer? My tailgate has begun vibrating a little, usually as i drop back to idle & the rev's slow through around 1000rpm.

I have resorted to folding a microfibre cloth in half, placing it next to where the latch is, & closing the boot onto it, but i think it would be better to adjust the latch, if it is possible?

Thanks!

yes... there is an adjustment for them... had the same issue with our MKVI golf.

Thanks, imagine it is most likely the same mechanism as used in the MkVI so might have a bit of a tinker with it & see how i go... Have done quite a few thousand gravel kilometers over the years, guess it begins to take its toll eventually.
