Does anyone have a picture of the proper way to mount the rubber bumpers that are fastened to the tailgate latch? There is a tapered pin that aligns the tailagte when it's closed & these bumpers cushion the closure. I currently have them between the pin & the latch but this doesn't seem right as it keeps the pin from locking into the adjustment notches for the pin if the bumper is behind the pin.
