Unbolt the handle (inside the tailgate 2 bolts from memory), put a thin bead of silicone and then refit onto the sealant and that should stop it, worked on mine.

What handle?

You mean the tailgate trim? Yeah all that came off to reveal the inside of the lock.

Pair of pilers on the inside of the bolt, the push button bit bolts to the inside of the tailgate btw.

Does it? I didn't see any bolts around the area on the inside. I'll have a look during the week, see how it goes.

Well it is not part of the long handle, I know that from when I fitted my cl one, when I looked the push button release had 2 bolts holding it on from inside.
