Default Rear hatch door won`t open

Hello
My name is John and i am new to the forum.I own a 1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport and have been having issues with the rear hatch door opening when i lift the handle.It would be sporadic with sticking but would open after several attempts but it will not open at all now.I was curious if anyone else experienced this problem and what they did to resolve this issue or how i would go about fixing it.Thanks in advance.

Go to youtube and search for how to fix your rear lift gate. There is a video by bleepinjeep that I used to fix mine
