Consumer Description

WIFE SAYS SHE OPEN THE GLASS HATCH TO PUT GROCERIES AWAY AND THE HINGE FAILED ON PASSENGER SIDE, LEAVING HER TO WRESTLE IT BACK INTO PLACE. I HAD A LOOK AND SEE THE POT METAL HINGE FAILED WHERE THE GLASS ATTACHES TO THE HINGE, WHICH IS MERELY A STUD OR BOSS FROM A THREADED BOLT. THE BOLT IS FINE, BUT IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THE TAPPED HOLE IN THE HINGE SELF DESTRUCTED WITH THREAD REMNANTS AROUND THE BOLT. $70 REPLACEMENT PART. IF ONE OF THESE LETS GO ON THE HIGHWAY, YOU COULD DROP THE GLASS ONTO THE CAR BEHIND YOU, TALK ABOUT EXCITEMENT! THIS APPARENTLY IS COMMON BASED ON A SEARCH OF GOOGLE FOR "FORD ESCAPE HATCH GLASS HINGE". *TR
