Liftgate handle rotation

[Madgyver]

What rotation is it to open the liftgate?
I noticed that it can be set-up both directions.
What was stock rotation?

PO hacked the handle and pivot part for the rods of the hardtop that I got.

pointing towards the pass side set up for a right handed person

I can't say that this is stock, but Frank's unlatches to the passenger side, springs down & center, and locks to the driver side.

still doesn't answer my question.

what rotation unlatches the liftgate? clockwise or counterclockwise?

Counterclockwise

When mine is latched the handle is horizontal and pointing to the right.(pass side) To open the liftgate you rotate the handle counter-clockwise so it is pointing up.

the correct way is handle pointing to pass side locked rotate handle counter clockwise pointing towards top open. i hate seeing the handles sprung down toward bumper when closed.

Thanks guys! I got it working right, I had to weld and build up the square shaft as it only spun around not gripping the pivot. I need get a new handle anyway because I can't lock it. No key.
