Product Overview
Corroded, cracked, or loose hinges can let the rear glass shift, rattle, or sit unevenly against the weatherstrip. This pair restores the pivot points that support the opening glass section of the liftgate. Tempered glass does not tolerate twisting or point-loading, so support and alignment are more important than simply tightening the hardware.
It is built for the point in the repair when symptoms have been checked and the replacement itself must match. Match body style, hinge shape, glass mounting pattern, and left/right orientation before beginning.
