For 1990-2009 cars only
The utility vehicle endgate consists of the following components:
| • | An endgate window, hinged at the top of the endgate frame opening. |
| • | An endgate, hinged at the base of the endgate frame opening. |
Separate latch mechanisms within the endgate lock the endgate and the endgate window.
Two gas filled struts support the endgate window in the open position. The struts control the rate of opening.
Two cables, which are attached to the body and the endgate, support the endgate in the open position. A torsion bar counterbalances the weight of the endgate. On some utilities, the endgate window latch assembly mechanism is operated electrically. You may open the endgate manually. Refer to Manual Override Description - End Gate if the following conditions exist:
| • | Loss of battery power |
| • | Interrupted endgate electrical circuit |
