Step by step.
- 01
Turn the rear defroster off, fold both rear seats and open the optional corner secures if fitted.
- 02
Squeeze and pull down both upper glass latch levers; keep one hand supporting the glass while the catch holds it.
- 03
Press the glass-catch release button, pull the top toward you with the grab handles and lift the tilted glass out of the lower channel.
- 04
Guide the lower edge behind both retaining tabs in the Midgate storage pocket with the grab handles facing you.
- 05
Push the glass against the stow retainer until its handle slides down and locks, close the corner secures if fitted, then push both latch levers up until each clicks.
Important limits
- Do not remove the glass with the rear defroster on because a discharge spark may occur at the latch area.
- Unsecured glass can become a projectile in a crash; do not drive until the stow retainer, tabs, latches and optional corner secures are locked.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the storage pocket is inaccessible, fold the rear seats fully and move the front seats slightly forward if necessary.
- ✓If a latch lever will not click, reseat the glass flat behind both lower retaining tabs before retrying the retainer and latch.
