Tailgate adjustment help!

Hallo,

I have 1990 Ford LTD Crown Victoria Country Squire. I have a probelem with teh tailgate. It go's in the lock when a slam the door in his place. Then a can lock him . After I use the doorlockactuators, the tailgate is of lock and i have to lock him by hand. I think it is not good to slam a tailgate so hard. So I like some help to fix this problem, so the door will fit like a glove.
A drawing or a eploited view will be also nice.
Thanks,
Tom.
