Removing Rear Hatch Panel

JMan · #1 (**permalink**) 02-04-2006, 08:34 AM

Could someone give me the procedure to remove the door panel on the rear window? The dealer replaced the rear hatch window motor but something rattles inside the panel. Do you unsnap then lift up on the panel? Thanks JMan

if the dealer worked on the SUV, take it back to them. do not risk breaking the clips and then having the dealer tell you that you were the one that messed up something.

Hello, This is my first time on this forum, though I've used one like it for my Infiniti (185,000miles and running like a champ), so I see great value in the knowledge that can be found here. I have 2002 Sequoia that has a failed rear hatch handle too. I'm interested in seeing any pictures of disassembly / reassembly before I take it apart. thanks

See attached file for the Back Door R&R instructions. Pretty involved.

JMan,
Did you figure out how to do this? I am trying to do the same thing and would like to have some ida before I start puling the hatch apart.

Thx
TQ
