Hi
My son's 944S2 has a problem with the tailgate lock. After opening the tailgate the lock won't re-engage.
I had a look at the mechanism. The electric motor is working and opens the tailgate when locked. But once open the tailgate doesn't latch when closed as the mechanism doesn't return to the locked position. It is easy to push to the locked position and then the tailgate engages when closed. When the motor operates it pulls the cable to open the lock but then the cable inner bends rather than sliding back up itsouter and so the mechanism isn't pushed into the ready to lock position.
What a convoluted explanation! [8|]
Have any of you folk experienced the same problem?
Is it fixable or do I need a new cable(outer and inner) or can i just get a new inner? Where can I obtain parts?
Any advice would be very welcome.
