The rear latch on my 2007 Sport-wagon appears to have given up the ghost. It's gotten stuck before but usually resolved itself - this time I was at the Home Depot trying to load this years garden supplies. I actually bought a screwdriver, crawled into the back, popped off the disk in the back and tried to unlock it as the manual suggested - no go-in fact while 'diddling' with it, a small heavily lubricated spring fell out of the cavity. I've read just about every thread I can find...to no avail.
I love the car, it's the Sport Model, Black on Black with only 80kkms on it..... But this is really starting to grate on me. I really don't want to pay a dealer $400- 500 to fix it. It's my first Mazda and second wagon - both have had really annoying tailgate issues (my previous wagon was a Volvo).
Can anyone suggest a Mazda mechanic in Toronto in the St. Lawrence Market area? I have a great mechanic (Cams) - should I just find the part used and get his people to install it? Any suggestions where a good place would be start to find the lock assembly used?
