Item 3: Liftgate Window Glass Struts Removal Note
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mercury Mountaineer and 2004 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- To avoid breaking the liftgate window glass, disconnect the liftgate window glass struts from the liftgate glass before disconnecting the strut from the liftgate.
- If only removing the hinges, carefully close the liftgate window glass, and make sure the striker is engaged in the latch.
CAUTION:
Open and support the liftgate glass before removing the liftgate window glass struts.
