Merry Xmas everyone.
My RRS is refusing to let me open the glass part.
The whole thing opens ok but the glass part is refusing to open.
Any ideas please guys.
Cheers

Could be a faulty upper tailgate switch. I had the same but the other way, kept popping open. If you can get into the tailgate switch you might find it full of water and what looks like loads of battery corrosion. I cleaned all mine out and it now works a treat again 2017 Range Rover Sport HSE

How do you get into it ? from the inside I guess

I was lucky that as my tailgate was open I could pull the rubber cover off and get to the inside of it, the relay switch etc and get it cleaned. I had a right nightmare getting the rubber cover back on as I don't think I did it correct.

I think you have to take a panel off on the outside to get to it ? but I could be totally wrong, sorry.
Hopefully one of the real techy guys will answer, good luck. 2017 Range Rover Sport HSE

Cheers Bud, I guess I am lucky as mine is locked closed.

Ive got the same issue, button is faulty, but the 3rd button on my 2nd remote had been set by the previous owner to open it, so I know the mechanism works.

I use the full boot, so it doesnt bother me in the slightest. 2006 HSE for Sale - £7,499 (Manchester)

New switch is about 20 pounds from Duckworth parts on here, easy to replace from the outside, use a flat screwdriver to prise the rubber cover and switch out. The switch has a prong each side to stop it coming out (bit like what you see on a side repeater when you take them out) just catch the edge of one and it will pop out. Takes 5 minutes.

I cleaned mine up and it then worked fine but for 20 quid I got a new one as it seemed sensible to just replace it! TDV8 Java Black, Overfinch 22s

Thanks Alex, that's a great help.

Hi, unfortunately my upper tailgate has started playing up again, could someone tell me how to get the switch out. I took the rubber cover off the last time but couldn't manage to get the switch out however it did become loose but didn't manage to get out, thanks in advance. 2017 Range Rover Sport HSE

I got my old one out by attacking it with a pair of cutters LOL

Take the outer trim panel off following procedure in the video linked below and then removing the switch
Is painless with no risk of damage.
