Tailgate Removal - GMC SIERRA DENALI 2002 Manual

Tailgate Removal

The tailgate on your vehicle can be removed to allow for
different loading situations. Although the tailgate can be
removed without assistance, you may want someone to
assist you with the removal to avoid possible damage to
the vehicle.
To remove the tailgate, do the following:
1. Raise the tailgate
slightly and release
both retaining cable
clips. To release the
retaining cable clips,
lift the cable so that it
points straight out;
then, push the cable
clip forward.
Reverse the procedure to reinstall the tailgate.
Make sure it is secure.
2. With the tailgate at a
slightly upward angle,
pull back on the tailgate
at the right edge and
then move the tailgate to
the right to release the
left edge.
