CHASSIS AND BODY

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION The tail door for 02MY is completely redesigned to address manufacturing complexity, corrosion and water ingress
probelms on previous tail doors.
The tail door is now a one piece outer skin pressing located on a reinforced steel, zinc plated frame. This gives
improved build quality, water integrity and minimal welding.
A new tail door glass is introduced with a one piece continuous rubber seal. The tail door glass has a revised
Heated Rear Window (HRW) element on the glass which removes the need to route wires up the sides of the
frame. The HRW element now has integral Lucar connections in the element which provide the earth connections
for the new centre high mounted stop lamp.
The inner trim panel is new and accommodates the CDL actuator and linkages.
The new tail door also contains a relay for rear wiper motor operation. Refer to the Wipers section for details.
Because the new tail door uses the current hinges and latch and retains the same geometry as the previous tail
door, the new tail door assembly is available as a service item for current vehicles.
