    Hi everyone,
    I recently removed my interior lift gate panel to repair the liftgate actuator (was actually quite simple!) and am having trouble clipping it back in. I got the bottom clips to take hold but cant seem to find/engage the top clips closer to the window. Any advice?

    Do you have the panel set and hanging over the window lip? Check your retainers. I had small issue getting it hung, but if it's set right, everything should snap in after that. If you have to have the plastic molding retainers, Auto zone has color coded retainers that should fit. The clips and retainers from Amazons are just a little different, because of patent most likely, and they are usually slightly bigger than factory. Start your snapping together at the top and work down too.
