2004 Freestar Hatch Door - Ford Forums

The latch is broken and I need to know how to access it. I have looked inside and outside for screws to take off a panel but cannot find them. Any help would be appreciated!

The rear hatch inner panels are held in place by clips, you'll have to pry them off as carefully as possible not to break the clips. Under the panels there should be a plastic vapour barrier that you'll have to remove. If you can manage to remove it carefully you can re-glue it down and then reinstall the panels. It will require some fiddling to get the panels off!
