Finally, reassemble the panel and test the latch to ensure it functions correctly.
The rear hatch may not open due to several reasons, such as a malfunctioning latch, a dead battery preventing the electronic release from functioning, or a broken lock mechanism. Additionally, if the vehicle is equipped with a child safety lock, it could be engaged, preventing the hatch from opening.

If these solutions don't work, consulting a professional mechanic may be necessary.
