Rear Door Latch Problem, Please Help!

How do I remove the rear interior panel on the rear hatch. Also does any one have a diagram of the rear hatch door latch assembly or know how to repair?

don't know what year you have but maybe i can be of some help i have a 2000 can't see diffrent years being to much diffrent to remove the panel on mine there are three screws one next to the window latch under a small oval panel that justs pops out the other two are on the strap to pull the hatch down the on the skinny part of the trim panel around the window are clips three on the top and two on each side i believe just give a couple of firm tugs on it they will pop out then withthe winow open you slide the panel up and it will dop down as far as the lock never realy messed with it so i don't realy know but try to better describe the problem and maybe some else could help

Well it is a 91 and the door won't open from inside. the outside latch broke and I don't nomw how to open it to fix it!! Any body else, help!

I have a 1993 and the driver side rear latch hung up too. The only way I could get it open was to cut the post (stud) that screws into the sheetmetal. After you do that then the door will open. What happens is the latch (part mounted on hatch held by three screws) gets rusty and the spring inside will not "pop". After you carefully saw the stud (put some tape on the sheetmetal around where you need to use a saw to help prevent scratching) the hatch will open. You can easily find latchs and studs at a local salavge yard or at Uneedapart.com Proabably $20 or less.

I'm talking about the latch on the rear hatch door, the very back one. Thanks though!
