NOTE:

Close the rear flip-up window before attempting to close the swing gate (hard top models only).

NOTE:

The swing gate hinges and strap may require cleaning if a squeak is heard when opening the swing gate. Progressive buildup of dirt or debris on the check strap may cause the check strap to fail, requiring replacement. For more information, refer to the vehicle cleaning procedures.
