As you lower the Midgate in this configuration be ready for the extra weight and be careful not to let the midgate fall out of your hands as you lower it.

If the rear glass is removed and you would like to put it back, do so using the instructions given previously. If you lower the Midgate with the rear glass in the stored position, you will notice that the entire crossbar (the bar with the release handle) will lower with the Midgate. 2-22
