Volkswagen Tiguan - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Tiguan 5N, MK 1 - Years 2007-2016
Part: Door
Operation: How to manually open the tailgate on Volkswagen Tiguan if the lock fails?

In the Volkswagen Tiguan it can happen that the electronic tailgate release fails, making it apparently impossible to open it. In this video we can see how to carry out manual emergency opening. First of all, let's go to the rear sofa, then recline it using the appropriate lever on the outside. Once this is done, let's go inside the luggage compartment and identify the small flap located right near the lock. Once removed, we move the white plastic element upwards and, at the same time, lift the tailgate.
