98 Durango stuck lift gate...
Lift gate is stuck, anyone been there and fixed that? Didn't seem to find any screws that would allow me to pull the inside panel off while the door is closed. Thanks!
I didn't get a reply but I did finaly get int there and get it fixed. The panel on the inside of the gate comes off by first tugging on the upper panel that goes around the window. Underneath, are a couple of screws that keep the lower section of the panel held in. Remove the screws then start tugging till the "snaps" come off. Then just reach in their with your arm and feel around near the latch and tug on the short bar that's conected to it. If in doubt, hit your lock/unlock button so that you can see it moving. Once unlocked, you can open the gate and remove the rest of the screws in the panel so you'll have full access to the locking/latch mechanism.
Hope this helps someone in the future.
