rear door stuck
#2
Pop the Land Rover emblem off of the rear door handle with a screw driver.
Spray the handle with silicone spray.
Work the handle.
Spray again.
The door will open.
This is common on ALL trucks with this type of cargo door and the handle, hinges and door slide need to be lubed at least every 6 months.
More often if you live on a dirt road or in the winter time if they use road salt.
It is recommended that you lube ALL hinges on your cars every 6 months.
Silicone spray will not attract dirt like WD-40 will for example.
Spray the handle with silicone spray.
Work the handle.
Spray again.
The door will open.

My door wont close! Anobody care to shed some light for me?
Found this is the search section so Im reviving the thread. My cargo door was left open and now the door hand itself is compressed in and does not move. Door does not shut or secure either when I attempt to close the cargo door. I will remove emblem and use penetrating oil, but Im not convinced that will resolve the problem here. Seems most people are having problems with the interior components of the cargo door, I think mine is the handle itself. Worst case scenario Ill replace handle with new one but I need a temp solution. Any help would be appreciated.

Ok, got it. Here are some clearer instructions:
1) Use a butter knife to remove the oval logo off the black cover covering your cargo door handle.
2) Spray silicone spray on all the moving parts inside hole.
3) Work the handle till it comes free.
4) Spray some silicone on the oval logo tabs so it snaps in easier.
5) Wipe off excess silicone spray that now is dripping down behind your license plate
