Hard frost this morning and couldn't open the tailgate Shocked

Is this common or have I got a leaky boot seal?

Will give it a good clean and silicone the seal once it thaws out Thumbs Up

Hi only a couple of weeks ago I had a problem closing and locking the tailgate.

I was able to close the top section to the latch point only at first, tried to move the lock but thought I had seized it.

Did a search on here and found some useful options. the cheapest ones first.

Sprayed some WD40 around the lower tailgate lock and the lock freed itself and would operate with the key.

Then adjusted the two bolts on the top section hook as was not catching when closing.

Since that all been working well.

When it is cold the Disco tends to do funny things particularly on start up.
