Rear Glass Removal and Storage
CAUTION:
If the removable rear glass is not stored properly,
it could be thrown about the vehicle in a crash or
sudden maneuver. People in the vehicle could be
injured. Whenever you store the rear glass in the
vehicle, always be sure that it is stored securely in
the rear glass storage pocket.
Do not remove the rear glass when the rear defroster is
on. If you remove the rear glass with the rear defroster
on, you may see a discharge spark coming from the
latch area.
To remove the rear glass do the following:
1. Fold the rear seats. See “Rear Seats” in the Index for
more information. The front seats may have to be
moved forward slightly to allow the rear seats to fold
completely.
Although the rear glass can be removed without
folding the rear seats, you will not be able to access
the rear glass storage pocket. Be sure to fold the
seats before removing the rear glass.
2. Squeeze and pull down the latch levers (A), located
near the upper corners of the rear glass, so they
unlatch. After both latch levers are unlatched, the
glass
-
catch release button (C) will catch the rear
glass and prevent it from falling forward. Follow the
next step to release the button and remove the
rear glass.
