Lift gate glass hinge is broken.

hell for that price put a esky 3rd brake light on there. Its a new window and all. You will just have to get it painted. I still think you could find the esky light/window and have it painted for under 1000.

I have been hunting for that esky back glass all day. Junk yards, eBay, craigslist, and forums. I found a couple at some sites. Does the 3rd brake come on the glass or is that something I need to find as well? Sorry, I've never dealt with the eskys just hoes and kons.

I had the same issue with the right hinge as well. It's just glued to the glass with this black junk. Sooner or later on hinge will brake out. It started with mine the same way like yours looks now and then the hindge came more and more out.
I took out the tailglas and cleaned up the area around the hinge and reattached it with JB weld. No problems with it since than anymore. This is how it looks right now.

Just get a used glass at a wrecking yard and swap it out. It takes 10 minutes. The glass is cheap.

Like he said, get one from the junk yard. There are plenty of them. I paid around $50. Mine did the same thing. Easy to replace.

Same here. Found a guy on C/L parting one out and the back glass was good. I think I paid $50 as well.

I did the same as you but I cannot get the holes to align to slide the glass back in. Any tips?

Buy a used glass from a wrecking yard. You can get one around me for $40. I can’t imagine they’re much more anywhere else.
