Abstract: A vehicle assembly includes a striker of a tailgate assembly, and a door subassembly of the tailgate assembly. The door subassembly has a latch configured to engage the striker to hold the door subassembly in a door closed position. The door subassembly has a notched area that receives the striker when the door subassembly is pivoted from a door open position to a door closed position. A material shield extends into the notched area when the door subassembly is in the door closed position.

Abstract: A tailgate assembly, includes a frame subassembly having a cargo bed access opening between a driver side section and a passenger side section, and a door subassembly that is pivotably coupled to the frame subassembly. The door subassembly is pivotable relative to the frame subassembly back-and-forth between a door open position and a door closed position. The door subassembly closes the cargo bed access opening when the door subassembly is in the door closed position. A latching system has a latch that engages a striker to hold the door subassembly in the door closed position. The tailgate assembly further includes an alignment system separate from the latching system. The alignment system includes an alignment post that is received within an alignment slot as the door subassembly is pivoted to the door closed position. The alignment post is configured to be received within the alignment slot to align the door subassembly relative to the frame subassembly prior to the latch contacting the striker.
