Tailgate sticking shut. S10 Blazer?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Been having a problem the last few days where my blazers tailgate is sticking shut. If the hatch is open I try to use the handle on the inside but it only pulls up half way and feels stuck. The thing wont open. If it try and shut the hatch, it hits on something and wont latch if the tailgate sis stuck.

Starting to irritate me. Usually the key would work for sure but now the key stopped too.

It's fine ATM but is totally random.

Any ideas or advice? If it jams too bad I have no way to open it from the inside becaus eof the wall so I would have to go to drastic measures :S

Replace the mechanism ASAP. Have you tried any grease? Something that will sick like lithium grease might help

Make sure that the hatch reciever is in the OPEN position. You said you can't close the glass right? Sometimes they somehow close without the glass striker hitting it.

And if its closed, then the inside handle is designes not to open if the glass is down.
