Its been under 25 all day and sleeting, and I drove around with snow/ice all over the tailgate for an hour or so. Then I went to close it and it wont latch. Could there be ice build up in the latches and thats why it won't close propperly? Or is there more damage?

You might try using some wd-40 on both latch's
& in the handle area also.

WD-40 or Lithium Grease. I used Lithium grease and I have a little trouble with water below 0. The Lithium Grease keeps water away.
