Can't open tailgate on 2011 G550

Hey all,

We haven't been able to open the tailgate on our G550 for a few weeks now. Seeing that there's no handle inside like the earlier W463s, does anyone know if there's an actuator involved? And if so, is it the same part number as the regular door actuators?

Any advice would be appreciated!

Can you take the plastic piece off the tail gate from inside? All you need to do is take 2 screws out from the handle and then plastic piece will pop out.
Then see if you manually open
