Would love to see the pictures referred to here but none of them open, is the post too old?

here's a video I put together late last year when my tailgate decided to quit.
At 36s in you can see what part of the actuator you need to press down on to open the inoperative tailgate. At 2min in you get a better appreciation for how to access the little "spoon." https://www.youtube.com/edit?ar=2&o=...id=QPgYHSKdv9Q

I found the threads really helpful but after 6 hours of trying various tips, I traced the issue to the molded (to the handle) lug. It was cracked and the previous owners attempt to super glue it had failed.
I degreased all the parts then put the broken parts together using copious amounts of epoxy. I then fitted the cover/small lever that connects to the rod that goes over it and again covered them in more epoxy. Care needs to be taken to ensure you don't cover the flexible handle seal that the lug is molded into as, obviously, the epoxy won't flex when hardened. I placed the handle assembly in a warm dry place to allow the epoxy to cure overnight. Refitted this morning using plenty of lithium grease and it works a treat. Will it last? I don't know but I might buy a used one, fix if necessary, and keep as a spare just in case. Hope this helps someone and they don't have to suffer my headache. I'm happy to provide further details if required. |

The pics went as part of a server move many moons ago, and unfortunately the earlier posts can't be edited.
But, the pics are reposted (only the pics) on page 10 of this thread, post number 96. Hope that helps.

The images listed at the top of this article all look correct but when I try to open them with a click (or two) I just get a black screen.
Are these not available now or am I doing something wrong. Thanks for any help. John |
