This is obviously only a short term fix while we have this fine weather, but has anybody any suggestions as to a permanent fix please?
As an aside and possibly related, for some time now the manual tailgate release handle does not open the tailgate when it is closed. I can open it fine with the drivers door switch & the key fob, just not with the handle. When the tailgate is open though & I stop it part way through closing then the handle DOES reopen it. All very weird!!
Any & all suggestions gratefully received please.
Seems to be a common issue. Here are a couple of threads that might help:
