Technican: Todd, The standard method is to remove the inner panel with the gate closed, you will have to force it a bit. After it is off, you can do your work, or sometimes you can reach in and flip the latch manually while the panel is partially removed.

Owner: Thank you for your response! How is the best way to partially remove or remove the inside panel without damaging it? How and where is the panel secured to the tailgate? Also, once exposed, how can the release be triggered? Thank you!

Technican: Todd, Check around the outside edges of the panel. If there are any screws, they will be near the edges or behind a light or speaker panel. After any screws are removed, use a screwdriver or panel remover to pull or pry the panel away from the door. When you are inside the panel, follow the rods from the "switch" and you will see what they move. Do the same thing manually, and WaLaa!
