Mazda 6 Hatchback Latch Sticking

Hi all

Anyone know how to free off the "handle" type thing on a Mazda 6 tailgate? When the tailgate is opened, the handle sticks (almost) in the open position. It still latches shut when the tailgate is lowered, but when you come to re-open it you have to manually re-set the position of the handle, lock and unlock the car - then operate the handle. There is a cover over the handle which also covers the number plate lights. How does that come off? Looks like removing that could be the key.

Thanks for ideas

Phil

Same thing happened to my 6 (first generation) no need to dismantle anything, the hinges are accessable through the handle opening, take a torch and have a look, a squirt of WD40 and alls well.
