I replaced lower latch cable 3 years ago, but not the upper one. Today my wife tried latching the rear glass and it just popped off. Is there a way to latch it from the inside, or do I need a new latch?
UPDATE - I played with the latch and latch cable from the inside and it did latch. So, either the latch is worn out or the cable must be replaced.
UPDATE TO UPDATE - it was the upper (glass) latch cable. The plastic part at the glass latch broke. Had to bend out a tab at the latch to fit in the new cable, but the while job took 1/2 hr. One of the easier ones. Glass and lock are ok now.
