Removing the Tailgate

Follow these steps if you want 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’s side and pull the tailgate

toward you, then move the tailgate to the

right to release the driver’s 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 do the following:

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 of 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 and

must be anchored on the bottom bolt, using the

top position on the bracket.
