Tailgate Latch Not Working 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike Veglia on  Sun Jan 27 15:32 CST 2002 [RELATED]

My mom's '95 850 tailgate latch was intermittent, now it won't open at all. I'm needing to do the trim repair kit on her car soon anyway, but are there any suggestions on what usually needs to happen to fix the latch mechanism? Is it replace the handle or can something be lubed/straightened sometimes to fix this?

Also, how does one open the tailgate if the latch is not working?
