So over the weekend my Rear Hatch/Handle decided to stop working on me. Basically when I pull the Hatch/Handle it doesn't catch the wire so the Hatch/Handle doesn't do anything at all :yuno:

My second issue is with the two rear doors, they will un-lock with the remote but will NOT lock with the remote?

Any help would be greatly appreciated if you've had either or both of these issues before. I also have another issue that I will post up with a video so that you call can see what I'm referring to.

Thanks ahead of time fellas!

I had a similar issue with my cargo door. I took the panel off and noticed one of the C clips for the opening mechanism was bent which prevented the handle to catch. Might be a similar issue with yours. You're just gonna have to open it up and do some exploring.

Let's hope that's all it is for the rear hatch/door handle...

Any idea as to why my issue could be for the two rear passenger doors? Like I've said, they both unlock with the remote but they both will NOT lock with the remote. I physically have to manually lock them both which is a pain in the ass because I sometime forget smfh...

They won't lock with the divers door switch either?

That's a hit and miss, if I unlock it and lock it real quick it does lock. But if I unlock it, let it sit for 5 seconds or so and lock it it doesn't lock.

Only problem here is actually remove the trim panel from the inside since I can't even open the rear hatch.... But it has to be done so hopefully I can get it done this weekend!

I know its not easy but take it slow start by removing leather handle 10 mm bolt. The start from the middle of trim pull back a bit. You will be able to pop the glass latch by hand. Then remove 2 black plastic things they look like nails that are holding the panel to the latch area trim from there start taking apart all of the top panel. Once thats done pry loose the middle bottom panel and you can unlock the actual hatch and make rest of job easygoing
