Blanket caught in the rear liftgate latch. Now can't open.

What's next? I took my battery out and for some reason my xj won't start or how do I refill my blinker fluid?

My muffler bearings are shot now what?

Go ahead and slam the liftgate down on a blanket, and see how long you are laughing.

Ah grasshopper you need to learn patience and Problem Solving Skills. Really most every question you ask could be thought thru if you knew how to problem solve. Don't give crap about needing a professional shop.... learn to problem solve. Asking simple questions over and over then telling the people that answer they are wrong will and has set you up for ridicule. Please note that event though you take so good natured teasing you also get help with your problems but really I can't open the hatch because I closed a blanket in it! thing man, PROBLEM SOLVE!!!!

Been there took all of 30 seconds to figure out , no internet help special tools or professional training required.

It is funny to see you whine and blame the vehicle for your shortcomings though.
(that's if i believed you were even for real)

I did that. I pulled the rear bumper, unbolted the latch from the bottom, freed it. Bolted the latch back down, put the rear bumper back on, and didn't ask about it on naxja.

Yea sorry about that, I'm old and watched David Caradine in the original Kung Fu tv show. When ever he was being dense the Master would start teaching by calling him Grasshopper and I picked it up back then, can't seem to break the habit even after 30 + years.:banghead:

Scott try removing your right rear tire, drain your front diff and then break your front window. You should be able to access your keys after that

Great THANK YOU.As soon as they drop it off the flat bed i'll get right on it.

Thanks again

How could you do this to your blankie? Unbelievable.
Now your negligence took a perfect blankie and turned into just another rag.
I wish our government would make laws just for people like you, who with their carelessness and negligence destroy something really comfy and have the audacity to ask for help after destroying something that precious. I hope you rot in hell for that.

Have you replaced your rubber liftgate bumpers?
On my XJ, one was decomposed and the other was missing entirely.
$5 from rockauto and no more rattle.
