make sure the hooks on the hinge on either side of the gate arent closed otherwise basically turn the hook so the hinge is fully open so it will snap on

How do you repair the tailgate of a 1989 Ford Bronco if it is stuck shut?

If the tailgate is stuck in the closed position it will be one of three things. Well, four things if you include someone welding it shut but I hope you would notice the weld burns... lol. Now then. A- the hinge and releases are rusted solid. It's not likely but it is possible. B- Body damage can tweak the whole rear of the Bronco and jam the tailgate shut. C- (and the most likely) The rods inside the tailgate that release it from the latch pins are no longer connected to the handle. If neither A or B are the cause, get inside and remove the inside panel of the tailgate. Connected to the handle there will be a couple metal rods going left and right. They're held in place with little plastic clips that commonly rot, crack and fall apart. The little plastic clips are available for a few bucks at any auto parts store. Replace them, lube up the moving bits and test it out. it that fixes it, put it all back together and you're welcome. If not, well...

How do you roll up a stuck rear window on a 89 ford bronco?

In most cases the window is not stuck. The fact is, the tailgate is not make enough contact with the sensor(s) that prevent you from rolling up the rear window when the tailgate is open. To roll up the window, first try shutting the tailgate with some force, as opposed to lightly, to ensure that it is shut well enough to make contact with the sensor. If the window still will not roll up, with the tailgate closed, push forceably on the upper drivers side corner of the tailgate, while you turn the key to roll up the window. If this does not work, start checking the typical electronics, fuse, wiring, etc...
