Rear Hatch Handle

[spazzyfry123]

I have this replacement on my to-do list. Found part number 6909060010 for the full assembly.

Anyone have any pictures or further guidance on its replacement? I'm getting ready to order the parts, but haven't opened it up just yet. Figured I'd see if anyone has anything to read on before parts get here.

It's really not very hard. Remove the plastic trim on the back of the hatch,and study how it works, and how it's attached.
Take pics before you remove if it helps.
There's a small plastic clip that may be broke on the linkage. It's sourceable.
Putting it back together takes some jiggling/fiddling (remember those old wire puzzles?) but it's not too bad.
It doesn't need to be forced or bent to go back in.

It's kind of like a fiddly Jenga game. Just take pictures and you'll figure it out. You'll have to manipulate the parts some to get it back together but it's only about a 30 minute job start to finish.

I would highly advise spraying the inside with of the handle with some Woolwax, Fluid Film or Corrosion-X before buttoning it all up. Also would highly recommend replacing the bolts with stainless.

That's it, hiding at the bottom of this picture.
