2-10 Keys, Doors and Windows Rear Glass Removal and Storage Although the rear glass can be removed without folding the rear seats, you will not be able to access the rear glass storage pocket. Be sure to fold the seats before removing the rear glass. { WARNING If the removable rear glass is not stored properly, it could be thrown about the vehicle in a crash or sudden maneuver. People in the vehicle could be injured. Whenever you store the rear glass in the vehicle, always be sure that it is stored securely in the Midgate® storage pocket. Do not remove the rear glass when the rear defroster is on. If you do, you may see a discharge spark coming from the latch area. To remove the rear glass do the following: 1. Fold the rear seats. See Rear Seats on page 3‑11. The front seats may have to be moved forward slightly to allow the rear seats to fold completely. The following are the main components of the Midgate system: A. Latch Levers B. Grab Handles C. Glass-Catch Release Button D. Glass Lock Knobs E. Window Retaining Tabs F. Midgate Release Handle G. Window Alignment Arrows 2. Squeeze and pull down the latch levers (A), located near the upper corners of the rear glass, to unlatch. Once unlatched, the glass-catch release button (C) will catch the rear glass and prevent it from falling forward.
