    I tried lowering my rear window using the key switch on the lift gate and it will not turn either way. I tried spray wd40 inside the key cylinder but still no movement. Are they hard to swap out?

    Might take a bit to get it to free up too. Just work it firmly back and forth but don't try forcing it.
