    Upper tail gate locking mechanism.

    Hello guys,

    I have been playing around with my upper tail gate locking mechanism today but can't seem to figure out why it's playing up.

    When I turn the handle nothing happens, it's like it isn't gripping on the internal of the lock. Pulled it of and I thought that it may be friction that holds it together so I tapped it in on itself. Put it back together but no good. It turned without any load but slipped again once I put the spring and locking bolts back on.

    ??? How can I fix this...?

    Cheers.

    No good there champ... It has a picture, but no internal pictures. :(

    Might just keep an eye out for a working one.
