Ive got a Toyota sequoia which the cable for the rear hatch has come off its hold causing the handle to be useless. i know the cable is still hooked to the handle itself and the latch but not the part that holds it in place to create the tension. The kicker. You can not open it without it working. No access from inside without cutting the panel to gain access and the lock is electronic from the turn key so picking that is not an option. No access from outside as its totally encased in metal.
I can explain in person what I think will work, but just need someone with some good slim Jim skills, and a slim Jim. If I cant get this resolved in the next week I have to cut the panel open as I have to have access the weekend of the 20th for some large gear. lemme know if anyone would be willing to try it, I can bring it to you. Plentiful of beer will be yours.
