Does the gate shut and open properly? If it does, leave it alone. Adjusting those things is a horrible excersize in frustration.

Hinges are servicable? That's somewhat surprising ... it's hard enough to get the things off the car in the first place!Originally posted by marquisman View Post2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

hi guys, need your help. my tailgate support cable (don't know how to call it right), which works, when you open tailgate in horizontal position is broken by rust and didn't works. and this is the problem to my tailgate door hinges, which are destroyed by this. as i think the repair of this part is impossible. and i have a question - how can i fix this deal? the best solution to this - to sell me a pair of cables, because my friend's colony park has the same problem. or i can go another way?'85 Colony Park LSComment

I'd look at trying to use regular bulk cable from the hardware store. The wagon tailgate cables are just held on with big bolts. You could see if it's possible to whittle up a bit of flat metal to replicate the original cable ends, or if there's enough room under the bolts (or room for longer bolts, possibly), you could probably use one of those channeled metal loops used for making nice, durable loops in the end of cables.2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

I've just repaired mine.Originally posted by game over View Post
I got it off the car first and then clamped each end in a vice by the ring end. Then heated up the crimped part with an acetylene torch and pryed them open enough to pull the remains of the rusty cable out. Then bought some more wire cable from a haulage company and crimped it back in with my big vice!!
Hope this helps.
