Can I remove the surrounding hardware and expect to reasonably tighten whatever has come loose or is a purchase of the entire part that comprises this 'U latch' required? Thanks.

Are you talking about the creaking noise as you drive?

If so, this is a common and known problem with too much play in the upper portion of the tailgate. The solution is to adjust the bumpers outwards enough to to cause create enough tension as to stop the noise, but not too much noise to prevent the tailgate from closing. Keep searching Google, there are tutorials for fixing this.

Good luck!
