common issue w/ all rrc at some point.
try adjusting the strickers first.
try not to slam it hard, not good for the tailgate.
like john stated, put pressure on the bottom corner w/ 1 hand.
linkage inside sometimes needs an adjustment.
how r your struts?
my rrc tailgate had the same issue and my struts did not hold up the gate. after i did an adjustment and got new struts and helped a ton. new struts r good so it doesnt close down to fast and etc..
sometime i dont close it good and i will have the tailgate open up slowly but dont get the rattle do to the new struts. only way i notice the tailgate is open from the "warning light" (dome light) and alittle more air flow...lol
