Removing the Tailgate
To remove the tailgate:
1. With the tailgate fully open, lift up slightly on the
entire tailgate assembly.
Remove the retaining
cables from both sides of
the tailgate by pulling the
clips away from the bolt
heads while pushing the
cable bracket forward.
When the larger part of the
hole on the bracket is over
the bolt, slide the bracket
off of the bolt.
2. With the tailgate partially down, lift up on the
passenger side and pull the tailgate toward
you, then move the tailgate to the right to release
the driver side. You can then remove the entire
tailgate assembly.
Reverse the procedure to reinstall the tailgate.
Make sure it is secure.
To partially lower the tailgate:
1. With the tailgate fully open, lift up slightly on the
entire tailgate assembly.
2. Remove the retaining
cable from the
passenger side of the
tailgate by pulling the
clip away from the bolt
head while pushing the
cable bracket forward.
When the larger part of the hole on the bracket is
over the bolt, slide the bracket off the bolt.
3. Slide the lower end fitting onto the top bolt. The
tailgate will now stay in the partially opened position.
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for the driver side.
If you would like to close the tailgate, the bracket cannot
be in the partially opened position. Use the top position
on the bracket to anchor it on the bottom bolt.
