Last night I did the groceries and found out the tailgate was frozen shut but handel was not, when I pulled on the handle the tailgate did not even budge, solid as a rock so I put things in back seat.
This morning I go outside to see my tailgate is open in the down position, not sure if someone opened it in the night or it fell open on its own, but now it wont close.
Could it be out of whack from the fall? Not sure how the opening mechanism works but if it never moved and the handle was down I would be surprised if it would fall open on its own.

The rods and linkage are probably all froze. I'd take it off and let it thaw out in the house or somewhere warm.
