It works great and I feel very smart and skilled at the moment!

My 08 H2 has the same problem. The dealership wants $1200 to practically break the inner trim and control assembly and replace it. Can you elaborate how you repaired it at home. The retaining clips on the inner trim are at the bottom of the liftgate, I was told and hence not accessible when it is closed.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!
