Yes, the mechanism seems to work fine.
The only thing I noticed is that -with the tailgate opened- the triger goes back a couple of milimeters, but it goes in and out with no effort at all.
Those milimiters are the ones needed for the triger to fully engage the latch when the t.g. is closed.
Between the t.g. and bed gap, i can see that the triger does not completely slides in the latch
