2004 Freestar rear lift gate handle
Thanks for the info in e-mail.
However I did not need it.
After pulling the bars (J-hook) to the left and Pull out with needle nose to get the door open, I removed the little plastic tab on the inside.
I put the J-rod back over to the left (where it is not supposed to be) and then stuck the handle back in to the slots all the way.
From the inside (through the little plastic window) I shone a light in and located the J hook and just pushed it over with a flat head screw driver.
Worked perfect and only took about 10 minutes
Thanks to this site though to acknowledge that this has happened to many others.
