My 2017 Buick Enclave Liftgate won't open. Why?
My 2017 Buick Enclave Liftgate won't open. Why? It’s stuck shut and I can’t get it to release from the outside!

There could be a number of reasons why your 2017 Buick Enclave liftgate won’t open. It’s possible that your liftgate might have just not latched properly for one reason or another.
From the inside of the cargo area, and with the help of a screwdriver, there should be a tab covering the latch you can remove to help release the latch from the inside with the help of someone opening the liftgate from the outside.
If the same issue keeps happening, it’s also possible that your 2017 Buick Enclave liftgate won’t open because of a problem with the liftgate support struts, the latch itself, or the motor that opens and closes the liftgate. The most expensive item to replace on that list is the liftgate motor, which could cost $300 to $450 for parts and labor to replace.
Don’t try too hard to pull your liftgate open if it’s stuck—you don’t want to damage any other parts of it! If you can’t get yours to budge, it’s probably best to bring it to a mechanic.
Hopefully your liftgate issue ends up being an easy fix! In the meantime, if you’re looking to open the door to savings on
