Unless you elect to play with the hinges, I've found that adjusting the center latch and striker plate to be the best way of snugging up the tailgate. You might also check the condition of the rubber seal around the 'gate; if memory serves me well you're in a warmer climate than I and heat deteriorates rubber faster then the New England climate (my '92 245 is still pretty snug). If the seal is in good shape, then spray some silicone on it periodically to help minimize squeaks.
