Rear hatch restore

Step 1 get the rear hatch off the bus. It's pretty easy just 4 bolts. It's pretty heavy so be carefull.

Step 2 take off the panel on the inside of door. This is easy, there are some clips that can be popped out with a flat head screw driver. Be gental if you want to reuse.

Remove the lock from the rear hatch. There are three bolts start by removing those.


To get the lock out of the hole you will to first remove the little key on the back of the lock. It's held in by the philips head screw.

This is the key thing I am taking about.

Make sure to keep your parts together :)

Lock Removed. Now for the glass.

Posted some videos on removing the glass. The basic idea is to push the glass out from the inside of the door starting in a corner. While pushing wedge the rubber trim under the lip on the door frame. 
BE CAREFUL NOT TO BREAK GLASS!!!




Some may question why take the glass out at all. Well here is a perfectly good reason. This is where all the moister get trapped and the cancer starts. Glad I took it out now I can take care of this before it gets bad.
