i was about to askthe same thing my mountaineers lift gate wont open and neither will the glass i haveto push the unlock like 20 times to get it to open the lift gate
 






so after alot of wasted time all i know is it is deffintly the latch. the rod that connects the two latches moves freely left and right but the latch will not open. isnt there anyone out there that can help :)
