Quick Release Removable Hatch Door?

Hi there,

I am wondering if anyone has ever done this, or might know what it would entail? I want to make my rear hatch door removable by way of some kind of quick release system if possible. On visual inspection the things holding it on are the 2 expandable rods held on with 4 bolts each, 2 hinges also held on with bolts, and there is some sort of wiring harness that goes into the body of the car.

Even if I need to just unbolt all the bolts every time, how could I go about redoing the wiring so there is a connector to unplug it. I have no clue what wires are in there, and I'm not an electrical person. Would this work?

Thanks in advance!

Ok so it seems I might get off easy, no rear wiper and no backup cam, so it just powers the license plate lights, release... and that's it? I am of course determined or I wouldn't post here heh. What exactly is the headliner? And are the specs anywhere of how heavy the hatch is?

Bisco - for now we'll just say to make it like a jeep haha

 

Me too, because I'm still not sure how possible it will be without messing something up. I'm still trying to figure it out.

 

That is a very valid point. The car won't be driven for long distances or for probably a few minutes at a time, so it shouldn't be too much to worry about, but are there any ways to minimize that happening? The safer the better obviously.
