Re: Interior Tailgate Panel Removal 940-960 1993

Greg,

There is a plastic piece on the bottom of the interior release recess that pulls off to expose 2 torx screws, T25 I think, on either side. Remove these and the 4 quarter turn fasteners on the bottom of the trim panel. After this the whole trim piece slides upward, along the inside of the glass. There are clips that hold the top on that will break if you try to pull the top out. Support the panel as it is over your head if the tailgate is open. It is good to have a helper to hold the panel. When you free the panel there is a wiring harness for the third brakelight that has to be disconnected. When reassembling the panel, the clips for the top are slid into the slots in the tailgate and the top snaps into place. Also check the rear windshield wiper motor mounting bolts as they often loosen. I put Loctite 242 on mine. Good Luck.

Alan C.
