Subject:      rear hatch lock problem
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"


I went to unlock my rear hatch a few minutes after closing it and found
that the lock/latch did not pop and unlatch as usual. Dutifully, I first
checked  the archives but found nothing really useful. I lubed via the key slot
to no  avail. I know that I will need to crawl inside and remove or partially
remove  the interior rear hatch panel to find the problem. My question is
will I likely  find something broken that will need to be replaced or
possibly a rod that has  come loose? The diagram in the ETKA is not real clear but
there does appear to  be a rod that may be possible to slip loose. Anyone
had this problem? What did  you find or have to fix? Yet another challenge on
the list of must do/should do  items for the Westy. Thanks everyone.
