Open rear door from the inside

Thanks @matt-k918 ! That's spot on.
So my washers are the 35 on this, which seem to be on the chair bag part. I don't remember where but hopefully it will come back upon inspection. Thanks a lot again!

No problem!!

Hi all,
Just wanted to add a few more bits of info to this thread as it was super helpful for us when our tailgate got jammed! Also wondering about any pointers to fixing the lock ourselves?

Ours is a 2007 California - we crawled under the bed board to get that out, then managed to unzip the chair cover from the inside, but in ours there was no bunghole as described above, only a small hole that had been drilled which we assumed was from a previous difficulty. We managed to fiddle around through the hole with a screwdriver and unlock the boot - so if anyone else gets that far and can't find a bunghole hopefully these pics could help you to drill a small whole in the same place and get through to the lock that way.

It's the latch part on the tailgate part of the lock that is not working - does anyone know if this is possible to fix on your own with minimal expertise? I've found the lock part online fairly cheaply.

I've attached pics...

The one where I've got my finger in there is trying to show that there is no bunghole.
the hole is drilled just to the right of the right hand chair arm, about an inch above the boot floor
