Tailgate won't open 87 740 wagon

Wife's 87 740 wagon tailgate won't open, tried the key and the little lever in the back. Am I in for some contortionist type stuff in the back to get this thing open??? TIA dino

I've had this issue before. The rubber seal appears to stick to the boot lid. Just keep 'working' it it will go. When you've done that get some baby wipes and clean the rubber seal. It (sort of) did it again a couple of months later (last week in fact) and a mate suggested using WD-40 (or similar) on a wrag and wipe it on the seal. So far, so good.

Hope that helps,

Rich
