Hi All,
Im hoping for some urgent pointers on this is poss.
Ive searched the forum and found 4 pages but none that relate to this.
Having just returned from walking the dog in the pouring rain I went to shut her in the boot and the top section of the tailgate will simply not shut. Ive pressed the release button (see if it magically reset) both inside the car, on the key and on the boot and the solenoid if working as its tries to release fine but it wont stay shut (meaning dog returns home sat in the front).
Ive just taken the trim off removed (as best I can) the catch and sprayed some wd40 incase its moisture but its still the same. Ive reassembled it now and if I manually try to shut the catch using a screwdriver while the tail gate is open its doesnt catch in what would be the closed position.
I would really appriciate any pointers please, as Id like to try and get it shut properly tonight due to the driving rain.
Does it sound like a replacement catch is required?
Many thanks
Dan
