con®gurations (midgate up or down, rear glass up or
down, tailgate up or down, power roof open or closed),
allowing the cargo and passenger area to be open
to the environment. To allow the vehicle to operate in
these con®gurations, it is equipped with different
features to help it resist the elements and protect cargo

with this are the cargo area ¯oor drains and the
cargo mat. These are designed to quickly direct water
out of the cargo box.
Cargo Area Floor Drains

behind the midgate near the sides of the cargo
area. These drains should be cleaned periodically to
allow water to exit the cargo area.

becomes clogged. But ®rst you will have to remove the
drain cover by using the following steps:
