Luggage Rack; To Adjust The Cross-Bar Position - Ford 2005 Excursion Owner's Manual

The cargo doors and liftgate should be closed before driving your
vehicle. Make sure the liftgate and/or the cargo doors are closed
to prevent exhaust fumes from being drawn into the vehicle. Leaving
the liftgate and/or the cargo doors open could cause serious damage to
the TriDoors and its components. If you must drive with the cargo
doors and liftgate window open, keep the vents open so outside air
comes into the vehicle.
