My 04 will occasionally think the hatch is not closed if I don't slam it down hard enough. If I start it up when that happens, I get the message that the rear hatch is open on the info. center. If it is not running and I hit the lock button on the remote twice, the horn will not beep twice like it usually does when the security system arms up. If I don't hear it beep twice, I know I didn't close the hatch hard enough. For now, I am ignoring that minor inconvenience and just slam the hatch again.

My issue is only after opening and closing. My interior cargo light never just comes on while the hatch is closed, which looks like yours does from your first post...

The only paint issue on the truck is also in the above pic under the rear hatch lip only on the inside. You can see it in the pics above. I ordered some color matched spray paint. Is it worth trying to sand and paint just that inside lip? Any tips? The rest of the truck is amazing. Even ceramic coated. I kinda a OCD type so I will always think about it unless I do something.

Well the paint came in this morning and I went for it. Sanded and painted under the edge on the inside and a little thumb size mark on the outside edge. Figured however bad it could be I can always get it hatch professionally painted. I think I can live with it.

The paint looks good and it sounds like you did some good prep before applying it.

Thanks, I did do some sanding first and wiped everything down and taped it off. It’s better then it was.

Isn't that a great excuse to take good pictures of them?
