The present disclosure provides a tailgate subassembly alignment system and alignment method. A tailgate assembly includes a frame sub-assembly having a cargo compartment access opening between a driver side section and a passenger side section and a door sub-assembly pivotably coupled to the frame sub-assembly. The door sub-assembly is pivotable back and forth relative to the frame sub-assembly between a door open position and a door closed position. The door sub-assembly closes the compartment access opening when the door sub-assembly is in the door closed position. The latch system has a latch that engages the striker to hold the door sub-assembly in the door closed position. The tailgate assembly also includes an alignment system separate from the latch system. The alignment system includes an alignment post that is received within the alignment slot when the door sub-assembly is pivoted to the door closed position. The alignment post is configured to be received within the alignment slot to align the door sub-assembly relative to the frame sub-assembly before the latch contacts the striker.

    本公开提供了“后挡板子总成对准系统和对准方法”。一种后挡板总成包括具有介于驾驶员侧部段与乘客侧部段之间的货厢出入开口的框架子总成和可枢转地联接到框架子总成的车门子总成。车门子总成可相对于框架子总成在车门打开位置和车门关闭位置之间来回枢转。当车门子总成处于车门关闭位置时,车门子总成关闭货厢出入开口。闩锁系统具有闩锁,闩锁接合撞销以将车门子总成保持在车门关闭位置。后挡板总成还包括与闩锁系统分开的对准系统。对准系统包括对准柱,对准柱在车门子总成枢转到车门关闭位置时接收在对准狭槽内。对准柱被配置为在闩锁接触撞销之前接收在对准狭槽内以将车门子总成相对于框架子总成对准。
