About this product

COMPANY INTRODUCTION:We worked in foreign trade for 6 years, each year large of our products are sold to European country.High quality, great selling service, good reputation is our purpose. I believe we are your best choice.PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:What are the rear glass hinges and where are they located?On many trucks and SUVs, the rear glass, above the tailgate, can be opened up to provideadditional ventilation or a little extra space for that couch you’re trying to move. The rear glass hinges are what let the rear glass open and close. The hinges are mounted at the top of the glass and attach to body just below the roof. They are usually made of metal. A hinge bolt allows the hinge to open and close smoothly, just like the hinges on any of the doors in your house.How do I know if my ­­­­rear glass hinges need to be replaced?The metal can start to corrode. You may notice mineral deposits beneath the hinges on your rear window glass. That’s from water streaking the rust over your windows. If the hinge bolt corrodes, the hinge can either become stiff or loose. It might be hard to open the rear window or keep it open.A loose hinge might eventually give way and let the rear glass fall off, which could easily break it. In that case, you’ll have a much bigger – and costlier – repair on your hands. So, you should take care of loose glass hinges as soon as possible.Can I replace the rear glass hinges myself?Replacing the rear glass hinges is fairly simple and can be accomplished by a do-it-yourselfer. An assistant will definitely help with this process. Taking certain precautions can certainly help the job go more smoothly. First of all, you’ll want to do this job in a cool shaded area. It is possible to break your glass if you’re not careful, and hot glass is more sensitive to breakage than cool glass.
