  Inner tailgate not closing

  Ok, I’ve had the car a couple of months so I guess something was due to go wrong.
  
  The inner tailgate would open but not shut..
  
  I tried all manner of resets but in the end I reached for some tools.
  
  I found the 4 hinges were almost stuck solid. The motor was just tripping. Anyway if you’re having similar issues it may be a place to start. I removed the inner tailgate board. Stripped out the hinges and ran a drill through them to free them up.
  
  So far all seems to be great and everything is working again. Simple 20 minute job.
  
  The trim under the flap pulls away to reveal the 3 torques bolts holding the actuator to it. The 2 limit chords pull out once the hinges are undone and you can move the thing around.
  Once in the shed it took a couple of minutes to dismantle and fix
