Upper tailgate intermittent bottom always works? My2010

Hi Guys done alot of searching but cant find the exact fault im having.

My bottom tailgate always works if i use remote or press the button no problems there.

Its the upper tailgate thats intermittent, some times it opens and sometimes it doesnt more doesnt these days so i need to fix it asap, I think its probably the switch or upper latch, Has anyone had exact issue or know what the fault will be? Thanks

Someone said on one of my posts - that the switch can get water in it.

Don't know if this helps or not.

I think water in the pull mechanism is a common problem. Went investigating when mine didn't work and found someone had already been in there and disconnected it!

Its back working today but i would say it stops after some rain but when i took the switch off it looked sealed and all good.

Would that mean a new lock mechanism the top one? Or a new switch the button under the top tailgate would you say?

I think I would start with a new switch ( upper glass tailgate section) as this always appears to be the weakest link. Do make sure the lower tailgate is fully closed and latched otherwise the top section will not open. I've had an instance when the main tailgate wouldn't completely latch,,, cleaning and adjusting the striker plate mechanism cured it 2010 RRS, TDV8

I have pm’d advance parts for the tailgate switch but im not sure if its that now because the bottom button for tailgate has also stopped working so i can only open boot with the remote boot open switch, Any advice on the fault guys?
