And then carefully you can move the glass into position. So I'm gonna take the right side hinge, go over to the passenger side. We can slide the glass around a little bit. You still wanna be careful, make sure that you don't break the glass. All right, so because the window's latched. You're gonna wanna make sure you clean this part of the body as well. Try to get as much of the old corrosion out of there as possible. All right, before I put these new hinges on I am gonna take some glass cleaner and just clean the window off. Get yours at and you'll be ready to rock and roll. They are different right to left so you can get a kit with both of them. 'Cause otherwise we would have to try to extract that one. It does come with a bolt, which is nice, a new screw. It's a good idea to check these hinges and maybe even do this before you get to this point. just eats away at the hinge and that's why this broke.

You can see the corrosion just gets in there. This side's fighting me a little bit more. I was able to get that bolt out, and I'll try the same with the other side. I'm just gonna take a plastic trim tool and try to pry underneath this while I'm loosening this.
But like I said before it's a good idea to leave one of these on. At this point since both of these are broken I'm gonna take this one off.

We can't heat this up or you're gonna crack the glass so. It's kinda hard 'cause it's right at the glass. All right, I'm just taking this plastic piece off from the outside. Okay, we're gonna let that soak a little bit longer. It's a good idea to wear safety glasses just in case the glass did break while you're doing this. I'm being careful not to break the glass. I'm gonna use a T30 and extension and a ratchet to take this off. Then we're gonna take this Torx bolt out. I'm gonna have to hold the hinge from the outside while I do this. But I'm gonna take out this side first and use an 11-millimeter socket, an extension, and a ratchet, take this nut off.
With this one both of these are broken so. If you only have one that's broken you're gonna wanna do the broken one first and then you can do the other one. Just try to rotate this rubber piece off. And then I can access the nut of the hinge. I'm gonna take this little rubber grommet off I'll just use a 90-degree pick. All right, so the glass is latched where it's supposed to be, which is good. I want the glass latched in so that it doesn't go. And actually I'm gonna disconnect the strut right here, take this one off completely. These are just pushing the glass down right now, which is not good, so I'll just take the pick, get underneath this clip right here, pull it off, and that's gonna go like that. I wanna disconnect these glass hatch struts. I don't wanna open the glass at this time 'cause the struts are still connected on the glass side. Just take a rag so it doesn't drip all over the place. So I just wanna soak these down a little bit. These have broken off pretty good right here I can see the actual bolt going through. All right, before I do anything I'm going to spray these down with some rust penetrant. If you need this part or other parts for your vehicle click the link at the description and head over to.
