1997 Chevy Blazer
----------------------------------------------------------------
The rear hatch will not open for me. The key works in it to unlock and lock all the doors but the window wont open. The bottom hatch door handle sounds like it works but it of course wont open unless the window is open. I am trying to pry off the back panel inside but I don't want to break anything while doing it. and adcive would be helpful. Thanks.

Pulling the rear panel is about the only way to the latch. Some of them have an access hole behind the carpet on the panel. You peel the carpet cut the hole out and then glue it back together. I just pull the panel. you will probably pull a couple screws through the plastic but you can buy trim screws with larger heads.
