Teraflex HD Hinge not flush?
I couldn't find the answer I was looking for... but those with the Teraflex HD hinge on the tailgate, does yours sit completely flush against the tailgate from the top looking down? I have a small gap on the side that contacts the tailgate toward the right (near the hinge). It's a very minor gap, but the gap is there. I double checked torque on the bolts and it's all good. The quarter panel the hinge attaches to is completely flush and solid - it's just the tailgate side that doesn't sit flush. Thoughts?

I tried that earlier. They torqued right back with the gap as it is. It also looks like if I were to force those to become flush it would pull the tailgate out of alignment with the body panel.

Just a heads up to anyone who might be reading this or following along - I have a few reports from other places that the hinge sits completely flush the entire way across. I think maybe I have a bum hinge.

That is a pretty small gap, variances in the hinge and door will happen. I think as long as there is no space between where the hinge makes contact with the tailgate, and the bolts are torqued to spec with no rattling you are good to go. I have one, but mine is on a boat in the Pacific ocean right now on its way back to WA, so I can't look.
