How do you repair the rear latch on the Suzuki Grand Vitara-the door wont open?

I just fixed the same problem on my 2002 Suzuki Grand Vitara XL-7. The rear door latch handle assembly just needed to be well lubricated. Over time and use the handle kept creeping up, to the point where the tension spring would not push it back down. So it eventually got stuck in the up position to the point where I could no longer open the rear hatch door. I just took some good quality lubricant, such as WD-40 or a Teflon spray (made by the same company that makes PB Blaster, sold at most Auto Parts stores or Wal-Mart) and syrayed it up into the door latch handle opening on both sides of the hinged handle. You have to get down on the ground and look up under the black plastic shroud that covers the handle. Work the handle up and down until you are eventually able to get it to go back down by itself. It may take several sprays to get it lubed up sufficiently. Also while you're at it spray some lubricant or liquid graphite into all of your keyed door lock assemblies. Over time these will also seize up on you, from lack of use. Because everybody, inluding myself, uses their keyless entry most of the time.
