Lift Gate Release Problem

[ChiefRider]

Thanks for the responses. I assumed it to be the switch in the liftgate, but you never know-

Mine is outwardly fine- rubber intact. I'll wait for some better weather to address, as my x5 lives outdoors.

Winter is ending here in VT, so time to take care of a few things. I'll be removing the lift gate handle and exploring my options with the release switch, as well as the license plate lamps which are both out now.

The only replacement parts I have found online were on Ebay, coming from Latvia- Not terribly confident about that sourcing, so will see if some surgery might help.

Mine: rubber held the water in. So “rubber looks fine” can easily be the problem. You can’t see it under normal circumstances. I just removed the rubber and never had another problem with it.
