I went to pick six kids up from cubs last night and found.....My rear (tailgate) door wouldn't open.
The door has always worked in the past, but it was shut solid.
When I put my hand on the lever to pull it towards me, it seems as though it has already moved there (only a couple of mills movement).
I tried locking and unlocking the door but no good.
In the end, the kids had to climb in through the back passenger door and climb over the seat!
Has anyone experienced this before and can anyone offer advice as to how to open it and stop it happening again?
One other (quick) question, I need to slightly top up my brake fluid, is it Dot4? and what grade engine oil should I use?
