Rear Hatch trouble

Ok guys, I am going to bang out two issues here relating to my 2000 explorer rear hatch.

1. The rear wiper blade will not reset back to its default resting place after I use it, aka it wil not clear the pop up glass. I was thinking that maybe it has loosened up or something and has shifted from its normal position?

2. my rear gate latch will not engage. At all. when I push the button to pop the glass or lift the tailgate i can feel it push against the latch cylinder but then it feels like it slips off. Any idea!?? I can not open either the glass or the gate and it is killing me!


thanks for the help

steve
