So I am working on the rear hatch on my 2000 and I am aware of the issue with the clip and the door handle, I assumed that was the issue as I tore it apart I installed the new one and it still does not open, I went as far as to directly use a zip tie between the handle and the lever and still will not open. Actuating it by hand will not open it. However if I use the two long shafts and push them out the hatch opens. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Or if maybe something is broken inside the mechanism. any direction would be helpful.
