OEM Linking Pin: Nissan Rogue Liftgate Clarification
I-CAR · December 5, 2018 · Nissan
Summary
Nissan clarifies that replacement liftgates for the 2014+ Rogue and Rogue HEV (T32U, T32D, T32HVU) are supplied pre-finished in Silver Metallic (K23) with the glass pre-installed. Consequently, if the vehicle being repaired is any color other than silver, the glass must be removed to allow for proper refinishing of the liftgate.
What to do on the job
Remove the pre-installed liftgate glass prior to refinishing if the replacement Nissan Rogue liftgate is being painted any color other than Silver Metallic (K23).
How to use it
Use this document to justify the labor time required to remove and reinstall (R&I) the liftgate glass on 2014+ Nissan Rogue models when replacing the liftgate. Since the OEM part is shipped pre-assembled with glass and pre-painted in silver, any non-silver vehicle requires glass removal to ensure a proper, quality paint application without overspray or masking lines.
