A rear door lock assembly includes a vehicle body structure defining a rear door opening. A four-bar assembly has a first support bracket fixed to the vehicle body structure at an area adjacent to upper end of the rear door opening. A rear door is supported by a second support bracket for movement between a closed orientation covering the rear door opening and an open orientation exposing the rear door opening, a first arm of the four-bar assembly has a lock engagement structure extending therefrom. A locking member is movable between a locked orientation and an unlocked orientation. In the locked orientation the locking member engages the lock engagement structure of the first arm preventing movement of the rear door from the closed orientation and in the unlocked orientation the locking member is moved away from the lock engagement structure releasing the rear door.
