I have just bought a C5 estate. Never thought to open the rear hatch/door. Now i find it won't open on the glass or the main door. Is this a problem you have had and fixed. Did manage to open the door today by removing the trim and unbolting the lock. Any help greatly appreciated.

The rear glass not opening is a very common problem.

 

Search the forum for the answer.

 

The main tailgate not opening is not so common, but seeing as both the main and glass tailgates are electrical in their opening modes, you have either got a blown fuse or a broken wire. You will need to buzz the fault out with a multimeter.

 

My guess (if no fuses are blown) is that the power wire where it emerges from the roof lining and goes into the tailgate has fractured. It could also be the earth return for the same.

 

I'd suggest you ask around for the electrical diagrams, and go from there.
