2014 - Rear Lift Gate Panel Removal

[DoraTheExporer]

Rear window exploded on our 2014 Explorer Sport. I would like to be able to remove the rear interior panel on gate because it's filled with glass. Could anyone help me with this issue?

I moved your thread into our Stock 2014 subforum. Hopefully someone will be able to help you here.

I believe that a member recently posted instructions on that. Why not just take the Explorer to the dealer or an automotive glass place and let them do the work.
Found it. Check out post #10 in the following thread if you are doing it yourself.

Inquiring minds want to know how the glass broke!

Sorry to bring this back from the dead but the link to instructions no worky. Anyone have a link to the how too? Trying to install a backup camera. Taking off the trim and plate lights didn’t help.

I just did this last weekend, the inside plastic is held in place by 2 bolts under the handle on the right side and the rest are snaps. The handle cover snaps off and remove the 2 bolts with a socket and an extension. Carefully pull the plastic back starting by the handle and the snaps come off one at a time.

I fished the dash cam line through the rubber flex tube with the other wires using a long screwdriver.
