95 Can't open rear hatch #1073588 08/09/14 05:59 PM

Getting the Wheeling Fever
Can't get in the rear hatch. The handle just acts as if it is locked all the time. Even tried the inside handle.
Is there a way to take off the inside panel to get access without opening the door?
Thanks!

Trying a different approach...
Is there any way to open the back hatch if both handles do not work?

Body Damage is Cool

The outside latch on mine broke about9 months ago. The inside still opened with a bit of work.

Try removing the door mounted tool kit and the inside latch surround. You may be able to pop off the door panel. You can then slit the plastic behind the door panel. This should give you access to the latch assembly and linkage.
