A vehicle includes a roof ditch extending longitudinally, a first trim component covering a first portion of the roof ditch, a hinge mounted to a second portion of the roof ditch and connected to a liftgate, and a second trim component supported for pivotal movement. The second trim component covers the second portion of the roof ditch and at least a portion of the hinge. The roof ditch is formed by layers including at least one of a roof, a body side, and a reinforcement. The first trim component may be a molding and/or a roof rail covering the first portion of the roof ditch. A related method of adjusting a liftgate includes the steps of applying a force to a first end of a trim component in a closed position sufficient to overcome a holding force of a fastener, pivoting the first end of the trim component to an open position to reveal a hinge fastened to a roof ditch and the liftgate, loosening at least one fastener, adjusting the liftgate, tightening the at least one fastener, and returning the trim component to the closed position.
