Folding cab wall and removable rear window (Chevrolet Avalanche) (Chevrolet Tahoe 2)

Your vehicle is equipped with a folding cabin wall and a removable rear window. Lowering the cabin wall allows you to increase the luggage space of the vehicle's cargo platform. The figure shows the main elements of the cabin wall.



1. Removing and storing the rear window. Caution: If the removed rear window is stored incorrectly, it may break in the event of an accident or sudden braking and cause injury to the driver or passengers. When transporting the removed window in the car, always place it in the special rear window storage compartment.

Note: Do not remove the rear window while the rear window defroster is on. Removing the rear window while the defroster is on will cause sparking in the window lock area.

a) Fold the rear seats (see section "Seats").

Note: Folding the rear seats provides access to the rear window storage compartment.

b) Squeeze and pull down the levers (A) located near the upper corners of the rear window to unlock the window. The window will now be held in place by the rear window lock button (C).





c) While holding the rear window, press the rear window lock button (C) and pull the upper part of the window towards you using the handles (B) located at the upper part of the rear window.



d) With the glass tilted, remove it from the lower guide as shown in the figure.



d) Install the rear window into the rear window storage recess in the cab wall, guiding the lower edge of the window into the mounts (E). Press the window against the cab wall and hold it in this position until the next step.





e) Turn both rear window locks (D) to the "LOCK" position.



g) When the locks are set to the "LOCK" position, the rear window is secured.



h) Set the rear window lock levers to the locking position, and you should hear the locks clicking. Then fold down the rear seats.

2. Installing the rear window.

a) Squeeze and lower the rear window lock levers (A) to unlock the rear window.



b) While holding the glass, turn the rear glass locks (D) to the "UNLOCK" position.

c) Holding the glass by the handles, remove the glass from the niche.

d) Holding the glass at an angle, install the lower edge of the rear glass into the guide.



d) Make sure that the rear window alignment marks are aligned.



e) Press the glass down, then press the glass against the glass frame.

g) Pressing the glass against the frame, move the rear window lock levers to the lock position. When the glass is locked, you should hear the locks clicking.

3. Lowering the cabin wall (without removing the rear window).

Note: Lowering the cabin wall allows you to increase the luggage space of the cargo platform by allowing access into the vehicle interior.

a) Fold the rear seats (see section "Seats").

b) From outside the vehicle, hold the cabin wall to prevent it from falling. Turn the cabin wall handle clockwise and pull the wall toward you.



c) Lower the cabin wall to the level of the cargo platform.



d) Raising the cabin wall is performed in the reverse order.
