Land Rover LR3 Upper Tailgate Will Not Open

A common problem with Land Rover LR3s, is where you can not open your upper tailgate. Watch our Land Rover Master Technician, Doug, show you how to gain access to the lower tailgate actuator cable. Then, you can get the tailgate open in order to replace the failed actuator and latch cable, part #s FUG500010G and LR017470G. You will also want to replace the moisture shield part part # EOT500013G. 0:10 Common problem to the LR3 0:29 Accessing the gates while they’re closed 0:43 Trim tool to pry between carpeting and upper plastic trim 1:09 Lift carpet up and out 1:41 Find and get under the rubberized water shield 1:58 Look for cable and actuator through this opening 2:28 With large screwdriver lift out gold-tinted bracket 2:38 Retract the cable from the latch 3:17 Once the latch is open the tailgate will open 3:27 Remove 4 retainers and upper panel comes off 3:36 Retainer cables for lift gate pop off 4:16 New actuator will have a tighter clip to keep it from getting loose 4:39 Bolt in actuator to install, put your system back together 4:55 Ordering information Please refer any questions or comments to 1-800-533-2210, or go to https://www.roverparts.com Parts List: https://www.roverparts.com/body-chass...
