Rear hatch won't open from outside
I can only open the rear hatch from the inside by lifting up on the lock while pulling the handle...it gets a little old after a while!
Anyone else have this problem that can lead me in the right direction? As always, thanks in advance... |

Pop off the Land Rover emblam on the external handle. Then clean and lubricate the mechanism that is exposed - that should resolve your issue!

I've read about doing this and wondered if it might help my problem. What do you recommend for cleaning and lube for this?
For lubrication - graphite - anything else will attract dirt and dust and cause you to re-do this again and again. If you dont mind doing it again and again, WD-40 worked on a friends who refused to wait for me to bring the graphite to him! Let me know how it goes! |

I used a stiff nylon brush to get most of the crap off mine, compressed air to finish up.

i use silicon based products . you may need to work the handle for a minute or so and keep spraying it.

Thanks for the info! Sometimes the graphite can be hard to come by. Glad to know there is an alternative (cheaper to boot) that does not carry the negative consequences the petroleum products do. MUCH appreciated Top! |
I find the silicon functions better in the wet cold environment I live in than graphite does.
