Trunk mechanism and how to fix it 2005 Sportage

[@bicycle697]

Your vid was the best explanation I have seen on this lock mechanism!! Thank you!!!

My mechanism completely failed electronically. You cannot remove the pannel as it is continues around the engaged lock. I used an angle grinder with cut off wheel to cut out an access panel. Then , you can manually pull the lock , open the trunck and replace the panel , or duct tape it as an access panel

This is a thorough explanation of the inter-workings of the Sportage tailgate. But the actual problem is at 5:02. You're welcome.

How You remove the cover tbe this door?

[@echeverriaemilio]

Excellent explanation yet no explanation how you replaced the opener handle. How does it come out.

[@aj4292]

There are two bolts on each side of the handle, they can be seen in the video at 2:06

How did you open the tailgate without the latch working to gain access to the mechanism?
