2008 Mazda Tribute Liftgates Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to remove and install liftgates, and how can proper alignment be achieved on 2008 Mazda Tribute?

  A: The liftgate is cumbersome and it takes at least two individuals to carry the liftgate and install it. In 2012 and earlier models, discontinue rear pillar trim panels and seat belt anchors, unconnect electrical connections and unassemble the rubber conduit. To the 2013 and subsequent models, drop trim paneling and disconnect wiring. It is extremely important to have proper alignment; reposition check hinge pins.
