Tailgate Falling Off

I have a DB51T with a dump bed. When you release the top hinges and dump the bed, tail gate falls off by design. Though there are adjustable pawls on each side that I have tried to adjust. I wonder if this thing is designed with enough adjustment to get the pawls to hold on to the gate in a dump when top hinges are released. There does not appear to be enough adjustment on the bars to allow them to hold onto the bottom and act as a hinge. Is there a piece missing or does something have to be fabricated to make the tailgate stay on; not sure though.
