Is the tailgate handle covered by aftermarket Warranty?
My top tailgate is intermittently refusing to open with the handle switch. I have to use the keyfob to get it open. It probably needs a new micro switch or something.
I have
Luxury Care with Warranty Direct, with main dealer rates. Is it likely to be rejected as it a door handle which is excluded in the t&c ?
I'm debating if it's worth sending it to dealer to be fixed, by the time I've paid the £100 excess would it be worth it? Or am I better off diy?

Even without being pressure washed.....
Don't know the terms of your AM warranty...
But do they supply parts for you to DIY ?
From me experiences it's all geared to "dealer decide - dealer fit"
10 minute fix even if the moulded-in fixings goosed.
Mine got a big blast of RS supplied electric switch proofer inside before bolting up..
We use this in our plant (very wet area - with lots of push button machine controls).
I wonder if it's the fact the filament bulbs warm the enclosure up it draws moisture in & does the damage ?

Its got Warranty Direct Luxury care, actually the excess would be £50, I forgot they put 50 per side when I claimed the front wishbones.
On the basis that it will get a wash, and I might be able to wangle a courtesy car I might as well let the dealer have it.
