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.

You can also fit one of these - https://www.brickwerks.co.uk/tailgate-l ... rable.html

Great, thank you both.

We are here to please.
We can be a bit grumpy at times though.

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
