well, considering GM didn't produce anything like that it'd definitely be a DIY project - you'd start by finding a used lift gate and it's associated hardware, then you'd need to cut down the barn doors to fit [including a way to seal between top and bottom], and then you'd need to add additional hinges as the lower sections wouldn't work too well with one hinge each .... let us know what you work out wink
