What Do I Do If My Pop & Lock Tailgate Lock # PAL1700 Wont Unlock?
Question:
I ordered and installed this locking tailgate handle for my 2008 Chev Colorado a month ago, and Ive been having a problem with the locking mechanism in the handle. Ive closed my tailgate with the handle locked, and now the handle will not unlock. So, my tailgate is closed and locked on my truck, and I have a tonneau cover on the truck. So, how do I open my tailgate without damaging the truck or the cover? The truck is a 2008 Chevy Colorado extended cab LT1 2-wheel drive.
