2004 Chevrolet SSR tailgate

The middle asking price for a used one is $169.15, across 22 live eBay listings for the 2003–2006 generation. Half of them ask between $89.95 and $499.99. That’s what sellers are asking, not what buyers paid. Sold prices aren’t published anywhere you can count on, and asking prices usually run about a quarter higher than what things sell for — so we say which one this is.

How it comes off

Hood, hatch and tailgate struts hold the panel up under load. Support the panel before you take a strut off, and bring a helper for anything you cannot hold with one arm.

  1. Unplug the camera, the lock and any lights.
  2. Lower it partway and release the support cables at the posts.
  3. On most trucks it then lifts off its hinge pivots at an angle; others bolt on. It is heavy: lift it with a helper.

The usual order on most cars. A 2004 Chevrolet SSR may hide a screw or a clip somewhere else: if a piece will not move, look for what is still holding it before you pry harder.

What to bring for it

Typical sizes, not a promise for every car. Everything to bring to a pull-your-own yard.

Is it worth pulling?

That depends on what the yard charges for it and how long it takes to get off the car, and on where it sits against the other 66 parts on a 2004 Chevrolet SSR that have a market. The full sheet for this vehicle ranks all of them by what you save and by what you clear.
