Inspect and Verify Repair Success

What happens here

Once the desired level of straightness is achieved, cease applying pressure and visually inspect the entire tailgate. Confirm that the major bow has been removed and that the tailgate appears sufficiently flat to function correctly. While the repair may not result in a factory-perfect finish, the goal is to restore functionality and allow the tailgate to properly mount back onto the trailer. This successful repair avoids the significant cost of purchasing a new tailgate.

Goal: Confirm the tailgate is adequately straightened and functional.
