Why is the tailgate not latching on my Jeep?
Went to close it and nothing…tried it from the overhead button, rear button and key fob. Nothing. So I “closed” it manually and it will not latch/secure the tailgate. Tried to put it in reverse, then drive, then park and open/close…and it just stays open! :slapfight: Thoughts?

How does the back hatch of a Subaru Outback work?
The back seats are always folded down so most things go in and out through the hatch. The broken wire was very close to the roof end of the boot. Maybe a half inch was all I had to splice on a piece of wire that I fished through the boot and attached to the longer piece going to the lock. There was no need to remove the headliner or trim.
