Jeep Cherokee Back Door Latch or Lever fix

2012-07-23
all right so here I am inside of 95 Jeep Cherokee the back latch has been malfunctioning it hasn't been able to open up from the outside so what I did is on the inside I took out this panel and that goes around the outside of the window um it was pretty hard to get out just because it's not made to come out when the doors closed I'm is supposed to come off when the door is open anyway it's with little the little pulling and I think I might have snapped something but it came out anyway as far as the lock mechanism goes what the problem is is that this part right here isn't stationed far enough far enough down on it so it'll pull up and let go out a latch and open the door so now once I'm inside with this latch mechanism I can open the door just fine so I'd figure out in some way with this to position it higher up about there and make sure that it stays there so that it doesn't come off when when you try to open the door without much pressure anyway so I'll try to jerry-rig something up here alright so I took two zip ties some and tightened them pretty tight over the whole thing in the back and the front and the sides to keep it pinched in on the on this metal bar so hopefully that fixed it we'll give it a shot so before hand every time I were to open up the spec lever um it would just it would go up far enough it wouldn't just it wouldn't unlatch like you'd almost hear it unlatching but just wouldn't get far enough so that's why when I scooted that bar up it gave it enough leverage to actually open up the entire the entire back door mm-hmm go see the latch pull up then watch the screen if I try it like 20 times now I'm and everything's working out pretty well so put the back panel on and call good okay so now you can see what I broke or what screws I broke on the inside so here this one snapped off this one snapped off I'm I couldn't reach that either those two were never there so those would have broken as well though at you need to release your door this one broke and those two are fine they asked those are all the screws you have to worry about them on the back door panel
