GMC 2004 Sierra - Manual (Page 108)

To open a rear access
door from the inside, the
front door must be opened
first. Then, use the
handle located on the
inside of the rear access
door to open it.
If your vehicle is a Crew Cab ® , you can open your
doors from the inside or outside. Your vehicle may also
have a feature which prevents children from opening
the rear doors. See
Rear Door Security Locks
(Crew Cab) on page 2-12 for more information.
Tailgate
You can open the tailgate by lifting up on its handle
while pulling the tailgate toward you.
To shut the tailgate, firmly push it upward until it
latches.
After you put the tailgate back up, pull it back towards
you to be sure it latches securely.
Tailgate Removal
The tailgate on your vehicle can be removed to allow for
different loading situations. Although the tailgate can
be removed without assistance, you may want someone
to assist you with the removal to avoid possible
damage to the vehicle.
