Liftgate Glass Hinge Replacement

In this video I go over how to change the rear hinges that are likely corroding on your escape over to new ones with many pointers along the way to prevent the glass from shattering.

Thanks! Mine is 10 years old and 284,500 miles, does this have anything to do with the breaking of the rear window? Maybe the rubber bushings wear out?

The glass can shatter when the hinges break yes.
