Why doesn't rear window lift glass latch? - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Hi, I'm Alejo Tambutto.
There are a few possible reasons why the rear lift glass on your 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee is not closing properly. Here are some steps you can take to fix the problem:

Check the glass switch: Make sure the glass switch is in the correct position and is not stuck. If it's stuck, try cleaning it with electrical contact cleaner.

Check the latch mechanism: Check the latch mechanism to make sure it is not obstructed or damaged. If there are obstructions, remove the objects and try to close the glass again. If the mechanism is damaged, it may need to be replaced.

Check Electrical Wires: Check the electrical wires that supply power to the rear window lift mechanism. If any of the wires are loose or damaged, it can cause problems closing the glass. If you find any problems with the cables, you may need to repair or replace them.

Seek Professional Help: If you are unable to identify the problem or are not comfortable doing the repairs yourself, it is best to seek the help of a professional mechanic. An experienced mechanic can diagnose the problem and offer a proper solution to repair the rear lift on your 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

It's important to address this issue as soon as possible, as a rear lift glass that won't close completely can be a safety risk to you and your passengers.

I hope it works for you, bye

Check the flipper glass latch, maybe just sticking, lubricate it

Mine did this too....the latch kept getting stuck. If you put the key in the ignition and unlock the power doors, pull on the gate door (don't open it, just enough to release the latch), and it should come out so the hatch will latch.

No the rear door latch is not electric....but does have a electric lock which is fuse 17 in the inside fuse panel....not the one under the hood. The rear lift glass is controlled by electric and is in the same circuit fuse 17. Good Luck

open rear window get in or lean in. on the inside panel about where the outside latch is. remove small plastic cover. you now have access to back side of latch. look for a small white plastic lever about the size of a plastic spoon handel lift it up or down while lifting the latch. mine does the same thing once in a while.sometimes opening the glass or closing it shakes that lever free and the latch will open. it just needs cleaning and lubricating. alittle compressed air and some WD shood fix.good luck and have a great summer.

There is a button to the right of the license plate, situated on the underside of the black plastic that is beneath the rear wiper. If you have a limited or special edition, then yours will be painted. Push that button and you'll hear the latch release the glass.
