I have a MY2003 Zafira 'A' with a locked tailgate, and wondered whether there was a way to unlock it from inside? It's a replacement tailgate from a breaker's yard so the ignition key won't unlock it.
I have tried the remote central locking and liberal amounts of WD40 to no avail. I have checked the operation of the washer wiper mechanism, which works fine and shares the same fuse i believe.
Unfortunately, unlike the later 'B' model, the Zafira 'A' model doesn't have the little inner tailgate grommet you can pull off to reveal a screw mechanism to manually release the lock.
The car failed its MOT on this and the garage reckoned it would have to opened with brute force, unless someone here knows any different?
TIA
