tailgate half open.

alright first of all my tailgate would not open. then one day one of my fat friends opened it and sat on it.....then it would not close.... i finally got one side to close(after putting duct-tape on the metal thing the tailgate locks onto when you close it---i did this to both sides)and still only one side will close.. any help?

forgot to ask is the handle in good shape?

Our f-150 has a broken tailgate handle so only the right side is effected by the lever action. I had to disingauge the other side so it would still work.
