You may want to check to see if this was covered by the Chevy recall for the tailgate problems on the 2000 Silverado. I don't remember - you can either look up the TECH Bull. or just call your local Chevy dealer and ask. When I inherited my dad's truck, I looked at the recall/service CHEVY page and took the truck in to have that work done for free. Worth the phone call...

What do I do when the tailgate will not open on 2001 silverado?
Most often the cause is two broken clips inside the tail gate mechanism. By pushing upwards you can remove the plastic bezel around the tailgate handle; its just snapped into place. You should now be able to see the mechanism under the handle. There are two metal bars coming in from the sides of the tailgate. These operate the latches on either side of the tailgate. They are attached to the central tailgate handle mechanism by plastic clips. One is pink and one is green; colored to indicate whether they go on the right or the left. You can get these clips from a dealership for about 5 bucks a piece. Hope that helps.
How do you remove tailgate bezel in 2006 Chevy Silverado?
2 clips on bottom of bezel have to be pushed up via a very slim device such as a putty knife,etc and then pulled out & down to get free of the top retainer hooks. Tape secures both sides of the bezel to the tailgate so a hard pull may be necessary. (9 out of 10 times the bottom bezel clips break during removal)

How do you replace the tailgate brake light in a ford s max?
The user manual says use a screwdriver to release the clips, this is incorrect. Having just changed the bulb on my wife's S-Max I can advise that the stainless steel clips need to be pinched together using your fingers and the whole lens assembly including the clips pushes out through the body of tailgate. Good luck!

How do you take the tailgate off the vectra?
Strip off all the inner trim of the tailgate. undo all wiring clips and remove as much of the wiring loom as possible. Then tape all plugs tightly to the wiring loom and pull the remaining loom bacwards through the tailgate at th point where it enters from the body of the car. Then unclip the air struts by removing the spring clips from the ball joint of the strut and pulling them off (tailgate has nothing holding it open now so use a broom or piece of wood to jam it open before doing so). remove the pins from the hinges or unbolt the hinge from the tailgate depending on how it is fitted. It helps if 2 people are doing the job.
