To locate this “handle” you’ll have to get in the back seat (don’t be reluctant to fold it down for more space), and, at the trunk lock of your Buick Enclave (center of the tailgate), you’ll have to remove a plastic cover to see the entire lock appear. Once this has been achieved, you should identify a sort of lever that once activated will allow you to open the tailgate of your Buick Enclave from the inside.
