Unclip the tailgate balancers at (A).
Remove the mounting nuts and remove the
hinges (B) (two persons required for this opera-
tion).
NOTE : if the tailgate or the roof is being repla-
ced, retain the height adjustment shims located
under the hinges (B).
To do this, use a cutting tool to destroy the finis-
hing seal around the shims and retain them.
The hinges are welded on the tailgate, so these
shims of thickness 1 mm are used to adjust the
clearance between the roof and the tailgate.
