Hi all,
The tailgate door on my 1995 850 wagon suddenly refuses to close and
latch completely. It latches to the first position that holds the door
down, but won't make a tight seal and really "click in". It was
intermittent before but with a bit of direct force it would grab on...
now no amount of force seems to work.
There don't appear to be any obstructions in the door frame or the
latch itself. I sprayed a lightweight silicone lube into the moving
parts and they all seem to be moving fine. It's like the post that the
latch is supposed to grab is just a few mm out of reach. Is this
adjustable at all? It's about -15C outside so I haven't had a chance
to really look more closely.
If there's something anyone can suggest so I can focus on it as soon
as I get outside that would be great.
Thanks,
