Lowering the Midgate with the Rear
Glass in Place
The midgate can be lowered to allow the
cargo area of your vehicle to extend into
the cab. The rear glass can be either
installed in its normal position, or it can be
removed and stored in the rear glass
storage pocket.
To lower the midgate:
1. Fold the rear seats. The front seats might have to be moved forward slightly
to allow the rear seats to fold. See Rear
Seats 049.
2. Standing outside of the vehicle, hold the midgate securely so it does not fall
forward. Press and hold the switch
button depending on configuration
below:

Midgate Lowered with Crossbar Attached
This procedure works the same as the
procedure described previously, but when
you lower the midgate with the rear glass
in the stored position, you will notice that
the entire crossbar will lower with the
midgate. This is completely normal;
however, since the crossbar lowers with the
midgate, it will be heavier. As you lower the
midgate be ready for the extra weight and
do not let the midgate fall as you lower it.
Raising the Midgate
To return the midgate to its normal
position:
1. Temporarily secure the seatbelt buckle to the opening slot in the door trim to
move it out of the path of the midgate.
2. Raise the midgate up with a firm swinging motion until it latches into
place securely. This will help to ensure
that the midgate closes with enough
force to engage the latches.
3. Once the midgate is securely latched, release the seatbelt buckle from the slot
in the door trim. If the rear glass is removed and you would
like to put it back, do so using the
instructions given previously.
