I can't open my tailgate. Not frozen but possible tumbler issue.
1984 Caravelle. Can it be opened it from the inside?
I could rotate the key back and forth for an age to wear out tumbler but rather not, risk of key snapping obviously.

Re: Open tailgate from inside?
worth noting on this thread it shows a factory option for a rod welded on to stop it opening from inside, not sure why you would want that unless you want to lock somebody in
