Angry First gen 4runner tailgate guts

I just put a soft top on my 1988 runner and I'm trying to figure out how to take the guts out of my tailgate with still being able to open/close it. Any suggestions? I'm sure there are other people who have done it. I took off the plate that covers the regulator, motor, and glass. I tried to pull the plastic trim on top of the tailgate but it doesn't seem to wanna to come off. Can anyone please help out?

Not sure where you are referring to, maybe if you take a picture? I assume you mean take the window and motor out and just have it function as a pickup tailgate? I've heard you can use a pickup tailgate as a swap, that might be an entertaining option for you if you don't want the fuss of putting this one back together to get a window again.

Does your window operate?

Checkout Cory88's thread on Yotatech. He gutted approx 20 pounds of parts out of the tailgate.
coryc85's 1988 4Runner Build-Up Thread - Page 42 - YotaTech Forums

The roll-up rear window is such a stupid idea on a utilitarian truck, when the more expensive FJ60 has a simple flip-up rear window.
I wanna delete it and turn tailgate into storage, too but I have other higher priority things I gotta do.

A picture paints a thousand words.
Toyota components are bullet-proof. Issues often arise from poor wiring, assembly and/or maintenance. Suspect those first.
Next only to our senses, the multi-meter is the most important electrical diagnostic tool. Spend $6 at Harbor Freight or $$$ blindly replacing parts.
