Lowering the Midgate with the Rear Glass
in Place

The midgate can be lowered to allow the cargo area of
your vehicle to extend into the cab. The rear glass
can be either installed in its normal position, or it can be
removed and stored in the rear glass storage pocket.

To lower the midgate, do the following:

1. Fold the rear seats. The front seats might have to

be moved forward slightly to allow the rear seats to
fold. See Rear Seat Operation on page 1-7 for
more information.

2. Standing outside of the vehicle, hold the midgate

securely so it does not fall forward. Turn the
midgate handle clockwise and pull the midgate
toward you.
