    E34 Touring Hatch Glass Stuck

    Any tip on opening my Hatch Glass without breaking anything to access the wires.

          You can manually pop the glass from the backside after you take the panel off. Find the rod connected to the actuator for it and pull or push until it pops.

          The damaged wiring will likely be under the hatch though, not under the glass. It always break where the hinge for the hatch is where it has to fold 180º on it self.

            The wire under the black trim on the driver side tailgate. The screws are located under the glass hatch.
