Rattle Noise From Tailgate When Closing - Official TSB Fix

[Sner]

I did a search on the forum to see if this has been posted, old not find anything on it. Attached for anyone with the problem.

That's really surprisingly odd that this would be their solution. From my own Tacoma and some discussion on this forum, the issue was with the cable. I, as with a few people on here, fixed it by putting an o ring on the spot of the attachment point to the truck. Perhaps this is another issue but odd none the less?

Not sure what to say, seems like a different problem? or some confusion as to what the rattle is/people are hearing. I don't personally have any rattle issue, but the TSB is for when closing the tailgate a rattle, for that symptom the TSB makes sense - rattling rod in the tailgate, can't help but wonder though if that's what people are hearing and not the open support cables. Plus - this TSB is only for manual tailgates, so the power ones do not apply, wonder if the video above is for all tailgates or just manual or just power
