I've a few problems with the hatch door

 

 

Rear spoiler is cracked in two places and bounces around -

 

tailgate is scabbing on the outside - rotten and flaking on the inside - same around the access point of the nuts holding the spoiler

 

locks are temperamental - won't open with a key

often takes 10 attempts to open electronically

 

I've already lubed it up with 3in1 penetrating spray and it made no difference

 

 

 

Would it be cheaper to buy a new hatch from the scrappys

get it sprayed and use a separate key to open?

 

 

Or cheaper to get a new locking cylinder and treat internal and external rust and find a new spoiler

 

 

 

Thanx

IMO new tailgate and new lock set mate. Quickest way around it all.

tailgate from the scrappers mate,you might get lucky and get one in the colour you want.

 

i had the same issues and chaged the whole tailgate,i was lucky and found one in my colour with an RS accessory spoiler.

 

good luck
