Tailgate - Cadillac ESCALADE EXT 2003 Manual

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. This is completely normal; however, since the
crossbar lowers with the Midgate, it will be heavier.
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.
Raising
the
Midgate
To return the Midgate to its normal position, raise the
Midgate up with a firm swinging motion (this will help to
ensure that the Midgate closes with enough force to
engage the latches) until it latches into place securely.
If the rear glass is removed and you would like to
put it back, do so using the instructions given previously.
Tailgate
Use the ignitioddoor key to unlocWlock the tailgate.
Open the tailgate by lifting up on its handle while pulling
the tailgate toward you.
