How do you open the rear tailgate of the Ford Ecosport?

Model: Ford Ecosport BK, MK 1 - Years 2012-2023
Part: Car door

A question that often arises is: how do you open the rear hatch of the Ford Ecosport? In fact, it does not open from the handle located under the license plate, like most Ford vehicles, and not only. The opening here is hidden, and it is not easy to find if you do not know its secret. The Ecosport hatch does not lift up, but opens from right to left, so the lock can be found on the right headlight, under the chrome trim above the brake light. In fact, while there is only a chrome trim on the left headlight, on the right headlight, there is a handle where you can insert your fingers and release the lock that will allow you to open the door like a book.
