      *1 Protective Tape

      Using a screwdriver with its tip wrapped in protective tape, slightly raise the 2 stop rings, as shown in the illustration.

      Note


      • Do not touch the rod of the stay with gloves, to prevent fibers from adhering.

      • When foreign matter adheres to the rod, it prevents the rod from moving smoothly and reduces its holding power.

    2. Disengage the 2 ball joints and remove the back door stay.

      Note


      • Do not remove the stop rings from the stay. Raise the stop rings just enough to allow the stay to be disengaged.

      • Do not reuse a stop ring if it is removed from the stay.
