Strip off all the inner trim of the tailgate. undo all wiring clips and remove as much of the wiring loom as possible. Then tape all plugs tightly to the wiring loom and pull the remaining loom bacwards through the tailgate at th point where it enters from the body of the car. Then unclip the air struts by removing the spring clips from the ball joint of the strut and pulling them off (tailgate has nothing holding it open now so use a broom or piece of wood to jam it open before doing so). remove the pins from the hinges or unbolt the hinge from the tailgate depending on how it is fitted. It helps if 2 people are doing the job.
Hold the tailgate open about half way, release both tailgate straps, lift up and out on passenger side of tailgate, slide tailgate to the right, done.
You have to take off the wiper arm and then take the nut off of the post that the arm attaches to. On the inside of the van take the trim panel off of the tailgate,then you can get at the bolts that hold the wiper motor onto the tailgate.
Yes as long as your load is secured.
Wrap a chain around it, then hook chain to immovable object and take off fast
I can't remember, but the most common cause of failure is the switch on the tailgate, not the fuse.
is it still on when u take the key out?
You first must take off the handle to see what your problem is. Most likely it is one of the plastic pieces that holds the release rods to the handle. To take the handle off there are three 14mm bolts on the inside of the tailgate.
There isn't one on the vectra.
Close the tailgate!
according to the book: first take off the lower tailgate trim, then take off the upper tailgate trim, then you can take the high level brake light unit off by undoing a bolt and sliding it to one side. Once it is off the bulbs just pull out apparently; they're 12v 2.3w There may be short cuts to avoid taking the whole tailgate trim off; I'll find out when I try it myself in a few days time :-) <time passes> There's no shortcut, you have to take off both trims, but it wasn't really that hard.
take the thug approach and rip the door off
How do I take off the handle to put a new one on a chevy colorado 2005
