rear window wont open

hey guys, so the rear window on my caprice wagon wont open, worked fine i had loaded some stuff in it, got home and it wouldnt open, via the button on the dash or the key in the back, the pull knob comes up and it looks unlocked, and i can hear it sound like its unlocking it but the window wont budge. idk what to do . anyone experience this before?

Haven't experienced it, but you may be able to open it with your key. Turn the key in the lock to unlock the gate, and turn a little farther. It should pop the glass.

Try putting the trans in neutral and open it. The shifter position sensor at the bottom of the column only allows the gate glass to open when in neutral or park.

You may have a broken solenoid bracket. If so, you have to remove the interior of the gate to access it.

All the time. Insert key and turn to the left

If you're lucky like I was then you just need to add a screw to mount the button actuated solenoid back properly. Using the key to open the lift gate manually should work unless the problem lies elsewhere, like Fred said.

yeah turning the key is now not working, i can turn to the right and lock with the key but it wont turn past like 3/4ths the way to the left and wont open at all. how could i even go about getting it open ?

well left it alone for a few days, but it was still really hard to turn my key but i finally got the glass to pop, then i sprayed wd40 on the latches and on the part that grabs the glass aswell as in the lock. now it works like a charm.

Never under estimate a well placed "Fonzi knock"

Eyyyyyy.
