G'day Rick,not sure if this is the correct spot but above centre console under dash on lip so that switch sits flush with dash. If this makes sense! But could be placed anywhere along this lip.i will upload a photo of mine tomorrow arvo. Rummy

Hi Guys.

There is nothing Premier about the electric tailgate window in HD/HR. They were an option on all the wagons on those series, Standard, Special & Premier. There are plenty of Prem wagons out there without them.

I suppose it was more commonplace on Premier, because Premier buyers may have spent more money on options.

From memory the safety switch was operated by a small lever located near the RH tailgate catch instead the jamb, you can easily see it with the tailgate lowered.
