How do you remove the spare tire cover on your 2007 rav4 you can not find the latch to release it that is described in the owner?

I own a 1998 and a 2007 Rav 4, both with soft covers. The manual for the 2007 only shows the LTD and Sport covers- Hard Type- with the latch. To remove, start at the top and gently roll back the vinyl portion, and then work out from the center to the sides- the side portions have little or no elastic. Tilt out the cover, and with the rear door open, work the bottom portion out and off of the spare. To replace, reverse the process, by starting at the bottom with the rear door open. You must move the cover from side to side to allow the elastic portion on to work it's way on to the tire. As the cover begins to slip forward and over the tire, continue to position the cover. The cover can be adjusted for alignment by grabbing it at the sides and rotating it a bit, clockwise or counter clockwise. The are small dimples mid way down the cover on the outer edge where the painted part meets the vinyl, which are the level points so the cover is straight. Good luck, as writing about it is easier than doing it.

Which one? ;) The fuse box under the dash (left side next to the kick panel) simply pulls off. The one under the hood has a latch on the front. Pull out the tab to release the latch and lift the cover. Cheers
Can you make a release gas tank cover into a manual one?
Yes you can on some vehicles, you just need to disable or remove the latch that holds the cover closed. Some vehicles if you do this the cover will just stay open because of the spring that helps to open it once you pull the release lever.

If the drivers door on a 1989 Accord will not open but everything appears to be connected how can you get the door open to replace the latch?
I have dealt with this problem before at our bodyshop. Basically, a spring inside the latch has broke, and now there is no way to release the latch, even by manually pulling on the release lever at the latch. Prepare to replace the latch, as it is not repairable. Be prepared to be working inside the car. To make it easier to work, unbolt the seat, and remove from the car. Remove the door panel, and also the door handle. You will have to chisel at the plastic part of the latch, and break it off bit by bit. Eventually you will be able to release the latch. good luck
Can you open the hood from the outside of a 2006 Chevy trailblazer if the hood release is broken?
If you remove the grill from the front of the truck you can then access the safety latch and hood release. My latch had rusted so I had to do this using a flat head screw driver and lifting the safety latch which allowed for the hood release to open.
