    Help My tail gate on my 2001 4Runner will not open. Latch works but it is not engaging. How do I get into the works without being able to open the gate?

    I'm not sure about the 3rd gen latch, but when my '03 had a small removable cover on the inside of the tailgate. I was able to reach in and manipulate the latch when it started acting up in it's old age.
