An automotive vehicle 10 has a power operated lift-gate 12 that is opened and closed by two drive units 20. The typical drive unit 20 has a guide channel 24, an attachment assembly 30 that is disposed in the guide channel, a flexible drive member 46 that is attached to the attachment assembly and formed in a loop for moving the attachment assembly in the guide channel. The flexible drive member 46 is trained solely around two pulleys 42, 44 at the respective opposite ends of the guide channel to form the flexible drive member in a narrow loop. One of the pulleys 44 is an idler pulley that is part of an adjustable pulley assembly 60 and the other pulley 42 is driven by a power unit 48 that is attached to the guide channel. The adjustable pulley assembly 60 adjusts the distance between the pulleys 42, 44 to take up slack in the flexible drive member 46.

A vehicle compartment latch (10) has a support (11) that is fastened to a deck lid (12). A fork bolt (14) is pivotally attached to the support and moved from an unlatched position to a latched position by a striker (16) when the deck lid is closed. The fork bolt is held in the latched position by a moveable detent lever (18) that is moved to a release position to release the fork bolt so that the deck lid can be opened. The closure latch includes a detent lock-out (38) that holds the detent lever in the release position until the deck lid is opened once the fork bolt is released. The detent lock out includes a striker position lever that is moved to an engaged position by the striker being retained by the fork bolt and a detent pawl that holds the detent lever in the released position once the detent lever is released.

A power operating system for opening and closing a vehicle liftgate (12) has a pair of drive units (22) supported on the vehicle roof and connected to the liftgate for opening and closing the liftgate. Each drive unit includes a housing (24) having a curved track (26) and a curved drive link (38) that is guided by the curved track. The curved drive link (38) is extended and retracted by a pinion gear (42) that is journalled on the drive link and engages a curved rack (32) fixed to the housing. The pinion gear is rotated by a chain (50) that is driven in a loop by a reversible electric motor (52).

A vehicle has a power operated liftgate (12) and at least one power unit (20) comprising a fixed linear guide channel (24) and a follower (30) that moves in the guide channel. The follower (30) is universally connected to a rod (34) at one end and the opposite end of the rod is universally connected to the vehicle lift gate. A flexible drive loop (46, 56 or 58) which is attached to the follower wraps part way around two pulleys (42, 44) at opposite ends of the guide channel. The flexible drive loop is driven by a bi-directional drive unit (48) that includes a reversible electric motor (49), an electromagnetic clutch (52) and a drive wheel (50) that engages the flexible drive loop. The flexible drive loop may be a drive cable (56), a drive tape(58), or a drive chain (46) or a combination of cable, tape and/or chain.
