If the glass is clear of the shell, but you can't open the t/g, remove the inside access panel & pull the 2 rods inward (the L rod is obscured behind the tailgate, but it runs to the L Rod Clip). Either unclip them from the center mechanism, or pull them like bow strings to release each latch. Make sure the glass isnt so high that it engages the camper shell's groove, or it could break. If it wont come down, unbolt the regulator slides from the glass, or the motor from the regulator to lower the glass.
