Hello, i have 2005 honda CRV (gen2) and i have probnlem with my tailgate, it was sagging first then upon checking i realised welds at the gate had a crack on them, so i get a new tailgate to replace it,
but i never figured it out what order and how i should be adjusting and tightening the 2 hinges on the tail gate, so hours into project i somehow get it to close at line but never able to get it totally sit on weather seal, so when it rain it leaks a lot of water from the top par ot tail gate,

i have checked service manual and entire internet to figure it out could not find any source of information about

so can somebody help me with guidance of steps or tips and tricks how can i install or adjust tailgate hinges right way so doow is gonna close properly and wont leak
thank you so much for anybody's time who reads this

Engin,
