I have a 2012 Traverse LT2 with an automatic lift gate door. The two pump struts are fine, the one on the left connected to the motor that lifts the door is broken. The top clip busted off, the clip that goes over the little round ball.

I've order the correct part from Chevy to arrive tomorrow, but I can't find out how to remove the left rear side panel to get to the motor strut to swap it out.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Mike
