So I have a 22 X7 and I have recently been having an issue with the lift gate where when I go to open it the top door will unlatch but then it will go no further than unlatching. I’m not sure if it has anything to do with it living outside in this dreadful south heat recently or because maybe something is grabbing the door. It isn’t a power issue the power lift gate works but it’s just the initial release that is screwing up. (When I press the release on the tailgate itself and give it a little bit of help it will continue rising without needing to press the release button again.)

Had a similar issue somewhat with my wife’s merc gls450, one of the hinges was malaligned and they had to change it, but the problem was going on ever since we bought it..
