How to remove tail gate

the passanger side is sloted the driver is closed. un hook the straps from the bed side. put at about half way down maybe less pull the passanger side out towards you and then pull the tailgate towards the passanger side and it will pop off, becareful it can get away from you really fast and you can dent/scratch the tail gate or bed side...

Mine kept detaching itself whenever I was closing it. I guess the angle was just perfect each time. I had to re-teach myself to close it differently or else it would pop off. If this hadn't happened, I would probably be asking how to remove it too.
Yes, the thing is heavy and cumbersome, so don't rush it. A careless moment could mean scratches or serious dents.
3M tape? Are you doing something like this?

Yes. only 3m is easier and cheaper.. I did take it off yesterday, and i scatchx'ed it 2x and waxed it twice, and now, its like a mirror like finish. and for those of you "know it alls" i never been around pick ups too much, we have REAL trucks around here to play with, not corny pick ups so there.
