Description

1 parts
›FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of…

FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of a vehicle lift gate;

FIG. 2 is a left side elevational view of the vehicle lift gate;

FIG. 3 is a right side elevational view of the vehicle lift gate;

FIG. 4 is a top plan view of the vehicle lift gate;

FIG. 5 is a bottom plan view of the vehicle lift gate; and,

FIG. 6 is a rear elevational view of the vehicle lift gate.

The vehicle lift gate is styled independently of adjacent vehicle panels. To the extent that any feature lines are illustrated, they are intended to illustrate the crest and valley of the feature and are not necessarily sharp bends in the part. Shading is used to illustrate the curvature of the part and not color. Any functional features of the vehicle lift gate are not claimed. Views are orthogonal projections rendered from computer aided design data. The various views are not necessarily to scale in order to better illustrate the design.
