Mine slammed on a tarp and is jammed. Advice?

How do you get the window part to open ?

My glass won’t open either so I can’t do this.

had to replace a rear light bulb on a customers sportage and the tailgate or glass wouldnt open, so heres quite vaguely described what i did, so i crawled around in the car which was full of doghair, pried of the plastic piece for the glass latch and wiper motor, then unbolted the 2x10mm bolts holding the shackle to the tailgate, then just pushed the glass open with the shackle still on it then i was able to get the big plsstic cover of the tailgate by peeling back the rear window seal and pulled on the cover, then lift it up and off over the little plug thingy (might be different, on US models) then you can kinda pull it open (there are 2 screw type clips on the underside which you cant remove at this point yet) stick your hand down there and fiddle with it until it opens the actuator kinda started for working for maybe two or three times opening and locking, but then it died almost completely probably wont be getting a new actuator so for the being i put it back together and accidentally managed to get the tailgate stuck open

stay on topic and stop rambling around, it was an electrical problem why stay on the emergency latch?

I have just the opposite problem with our '09 Sportage. The hatch WON'T lock! But your video has most likely narrowed down the problem. Thanks!

How do you get the panel off if the hatch won't open

What fuse location for lock because my work before

the tailgate wont open on the one I'm working on because the handle mechanism is broke inside, so I cannot take off the interior plastic to replace or do anything?

Nice short clear vid...Thanks

My problem is the opposite. It won’t latch.

You do know people can see you license plate when you drive JM 511

Hi, if the door and glass won't lock, but opens normally. Is the actuator the problem?

Thank you! Mine went out today. Went to grocery, came out and it wouldn't open. 98 degrees outside. Lol. I hear it trying so it must be doing what yours is.

My Sportage 2008 has done this exactly as you’ve demonstrated. Exactly as you mentioned it was on a hot day.i bought another actuator from eBay buy I still have the same problem. Can you suggest what to look for next?

i have 2010 Hyundai entourage which back window doesn't open but my tailgate will not open for about 4 months now

Hey what happens if your tailgates already closed and you can't take the back what happens then

2010 Kia Sportage.. is it the same process? I can't even open my back window,,, so I'm guessing (hoping) all I have to do is crawl in the back, take off the casing and do the same thing as you showed.... problem is, I drive on a lot of dirt/rough roads and the actuator is constantly jiggling which I've read can cause the actuator to fail more often,, stupid design cuz I can't open the hatch with a key instead.... I've also heard it will cost me about $350 to have it fixed in a shop... THANKS FOR THE INFO AND VID.. fingers crossed it's as easy for me to do as you show...

You can not remove the interior plastic with the door closed. There are plastic clips, like the ones on the side that you had to remove, on the bottom of the door. Anyone reading this beware. You will break the plastic interior cover before you shear those plastic clips. Don't try it. The rest of this video is accurate if it is indeed the actuator. In my case the latch was sticking. Remove and inspect before you order that $150 actuator.

LOL blurring license plate only to reveal it @0:23

what do you do if the window won't open?

OMG you just changed my life. My back hatch hasn't opened for the last 5 years. I don't know how I am just now finding this video but I am so happy that I did!!!

I'm unable to find this part for a 2009 kia sorento. Can you help me out with where to order from?

The tailgate on my 2009 Kia Sorento would not open for a while, but now I had to in order to change a break light. My posts in Kia forums asking for help was unsuccessful. Then I found your video, I followed your instructions and 5 minutes later the tailgate was open. - GREAT Instructions! Your video saved me a trip to the Kia dealer and a few hundred Dollars. Thank you!

Anyone know how to do this on Windows?

i'm guessing this will only work on mac. any tips for a windows 7 user? I recently downloaded free episodes from itunes. then i had to stop and turn off the computer, resume it the next day, which only continued downloading the hd version. i don't want to have to re-download again to waste bandwidth. the sd version i'm downloading is now going separate.
