REMOVAL





WARNING: Do not remove the liftgate glass support rods with the glass closed. The support rod pistons are operated by high pressure gas and could cause personal injury and/or vehicle damage if they are removed with the pistons compressed (liftgate closed). Once removed, do not attempt to disassemble or repair the support rods.

1. Open the liftgate glass or liftgate and support.
2. Using a small flat bladed tool (3), or equivalent, release the retaining clips (2) while pulling the ball socket (1) away from the ball stud (4).




NOTE: Lift the clips (1) only enough to release the ball studs (3).





NOTE: Liftgate support cylinder shown, liftgate flipper glass support similar.

3. Remove the support cylinder from the upper and lower ball studs.
