Rear hatch release - won't - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

conesare2seconds · 08-17-2017

Hi everyone. My rear hatch won't release when the switches are actuated. The electric popper will try to release the glass once, mayyyyybe twice, then it gives up until it has rested and the car has restarted at least once. I was able to open the hatch for a time by pressing down on the glass while actuating a release switch but that method no longer works.

I'd like to adjust or repair the mechanism or at least attach a release cable but until I can get the hatch open there is no access to the surround trim, which I'm pretty sure has to be removed to pull down the carpet and access the popper. Any suggestions?
