Looks fine, though it's not easy to see from that picture. It's not much of a draft angle for release, but that only matters if you've got a similar angle on the other side. From that picture it looks like the main body tapers away and you'll get an easy release from it.
You will just want to watch that you don't trap air in those sharp corners when you're laying up your first layer of fibreglass behind the gelcoat. Areas like that are big culprits for trapping air and then you end up with your gelcoat giving way. Just really take your time and be sure there's no trapped air.

HI everyone I'm currently working on taking a mould from my tailgate all the barriers are on taped over holes ect I just wondered if any of these will cause any problems when it comes to releasing the mould
This is the where the glass sits and has quite a sharp angle would it get stuck here
Still need to add fillet wax yet
