Trunk / Liftgate Hinge: All Technical Service Bulletins
Tailgate Upper Hinge - Poor Engagement

TAILGATE - UPPER HINGE RELEASE LOOSE LINK ASSEMBLY
FORD 1982-83-84 COUNTRY SQUIRE
LINCOLN-MERCURY 1982-83-84 COLONY PARK
If the tailgate is closed as a "gate" and the upper hinge does not engage properly, and if the tailgate is then used as a "door", complete disengagement
could occur. Inadequate thread engagement of the release rod to rod adjuster results in this condition.
