Subaru hatchback door not opening

Asked by rosiedozie Mar 24, 2022 at 12:38 PM about the 2016 Subaru Outback 2.5i Premium

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

The hatchback door of my 4yr old Outback will open about 1 inches, then stops
& will not open all the way. I can force it open the rest of the way then the auto
close button works to close it all the way. Any ideas how to open it without going
to the dealer? Thanks.
