anyone else have an issue with the back window/gate being hard to open??

 

yes, other people that try to open it always think it is locked. cant have girl hands

 

Wifes does it from time to time in the winter... Spray all the lock parts with some lube and it will be fine. I pulled the plastic cover off and greased everything to make sure.

 

its not the handle joe,..its like the rubber seal sticks to the cabin doors or something...but it doesent stick....i feel like im going to rip the handle off the glass...its got new struts and rubber...and with the handle being at eye level,..its near impossible for sindi to open byh herself...

 

I know, its the same thing chelseas does. More so in the winter. Clean in there often and thats about all you can do. Need to keep the works greased is all I do for hers.

 

ok,..i pulled the handle and the plastic from the inside of the window,...greased everything up,...then noticed i broke 2 of the frigg'n clips off the plastic...

still did the sticking...i ended up having to loosen up the latches on the body and slide them down as far as theyd go (not much, just a "c" hair)...now it seems to open alot easyier...it was the whole glass door was dragging on the latches...

2 years of dicking with that damn thing, and i finally got it!!!

 

It sounds like you were just misaligned. I replaced all my exposed bolts that hold the pin guides for the individual doors with stainless steel hardware too. Mine opens up really nice anytime. I did learn one year that I shouldn't have forced the window up too high and I blew out the struts. MAN, is that thing heavy without the struts doing work!

 

My glass sticks to the rubber seal.....have to hit it with silicone spray.......might try the latch thing too though
