Rear Trunk hatch won't open
My rear hatch on my 2003 GTI 1.8T will not open. You can hear the electronic lock unlock (when i press the remote & in car button) but when you pull the handle nothing happens.
feels like the handle is doing nothing like it broke....How do i get it open to fix the latch/handle?? Because the screws to take off the interior of the latch is covered up when it is closed. I'm lost to what to do to get it open???? please help |

Re: Rear Trunk hatch won't open
It sounds like the linkage to the door handle has fallen off.
Does the rear seat fold down? |

Re: Rear Trunk hatch won't open
It finally opened again then i riped the covers off on the inside and it was the lever/linkage that was sticking random this preventing the door to unlatch i greased it up and it's been working ever since. I also found a tiny leak in the seal of the back window on the hatch right below the wiper so it was dripping insode the door and causing the latch to cease. So i black caulked it and it's all go.
Thanks |
