GMC 2007 Canyon - Manual (Page 109)

Reverse the procedure to reinstall the tailgate.
Make sure it is secure.
To partially lower the tailgate do the following:
1. With the tailgate fully open, lift up slightly on
the entire tailgate assembly.
2. Remove the
retaining cable from
the passenger
side of the tailgate
by pulling the
clip away from the
bolt head while
pushing the cable
bracket forward.
When the larger part of the hole on the
bracket is over the bolt, slide the bracket off
of the bolt.
3. Slide the lower end fitting onto the top bolt.
The tailgate will now stay in the partially
opened position.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the driver side.
If you would like to close the tailgate, the bracket
cannot be in the partially opened position and
must be anchored on the bottom bolt, using the
top position on the bracket.
