my jimmy 4 door was bone stock. my rear popper is located on the whole panel with the light switches and rear wiper on/off. you may not have a popper if your glass has the turn knob on the outside or a popper button on the outside that opens it when the truck is unlocked. you might just have that push button on the outside that pops the rear glass when the truck is unlocked.

yea see thats where im lost all i have is a key lock on the back of the truck no wiper no push thing i always have to put the key in to open it up so that means turning the truck off to open it it gets old heres what my rear looks like.

really weird. the popper isnt with the headlight switch panel?

STILL4WD · 09-14-2006, 01:24 PM

the popper is a whole wire assembly and a motor. If you dont have a rear hatch popper on the dash, you probably don't have the motor in the tailgate either. I just shaved my tailgate so I have all that stuff if you need pictures or if you want to convert.

is the popper like underneith the dash or on the right right under the headlight switch? i need pics of where its located just so i know im not losing it

juddspaintballs · 09-14-2006, 01:32 PM

bmxbang · 09-14-2006, 01:35 PM

My '99 2dr looks like yours, but it's only a button....not keyed. I have a "Rear Hatch" button on my dash to the right of the speedo. When I push the button on the back it only unlocks the upper window glass, it does not pop it open so I have to use two hands....to push the button then pull on the handle at the same time. Very inconvienient!!

My 96 does not have the popper switch either. Post what you find. I may install the popper switch and mechanism if is not too hard. I'll have power to the rear once I install a 10 woofer and amp.
