By opening the tailgate, you will have to unscrew the screws of the tailgate access cover and then remove it. After that, move around the plastic clips which holds the control rods from underneath them, lifting these rods off the handle. During this process, we need to remove the control rods and the handle mounting bolts on its end. For you to take off handle, you must simply release tailgate by taking off its bolts. Thereafter, detach it from inside of tailgate alongside central locking mechanism through withdrawing bolts and yanking away rod connected to it. That is how one goes about removing a tailgate latch by lifting out with control rod. Mounting is done as in removal above. Tighten all fasteners securely enough after reinstallation.
