can tourer rear window be opend without power

macafee2 · 14th August 2018, 11:44

Is it possible to open the rear window on a Tourer without power?
I assume I will need to remove trim around the lock on the hatch and then unscrew the lock, will this work? Will the lock move away from the window?

The tailegate is unlocked so I can access the lock on the tailgate.

If the tailgate is open, remove the plug and power it up from a 12v supply then open the rear window.

was thinking along those lines but breakers wont allow batteires in the yard. shame to see tourer rear screens get crushed because they cant be removed, I may give them a call see what they can do for me

How much for the whole tail gate? then possibly sell the remainder on.

If it's Trents, they normally keep a jump starter behind the counter for powering up cars.

Take the whole tail gate. Get in to the car and open the triangle holder and pull the small tap at the side and pull it to release the tailgate itself ?
