A small design flaw makes it unusable

First I had to carefully remove the red bar mounts and put them back on the other side. Makes installation more tedious and time consuming than it should be. Then it just didn't work. Clicked like normal, but just pulled the tailgate and jingled! She was open. Moved the pins (or whatever you call what the latches catch) back and forth, up and down...even used a jigsaw to make the hole bigger so I could move them a little more. Everything is meaningless. I ended up ordering another set and it worked great with no fuss or modifications. Comparing the new working set to this one I only noticed one difference. See photos. The working latches have the contact point squared in the photo to prevent it from slipping off when the tailgate is pulled. Sorry the seller has to unload some of these locks but I think they are lemons. 2003 Silverado 1500 in case that matters.
