Hi Everyone,
Just looking for some advice. I have a '04 XLT and noticed that the rear window hinges, more specifically the Torx bolts holding them on, are REALLY rusted out. The truck is immaculate and has been babied, but I see on the internet that this is a fairly common problem, and for some reason, 2004 Explorers were exempted from the recall. My question is... does it make sense to replace these hinges/bolts immediately and if so, how difficult is it to do it yourself? I'm guessing the dealership charges a fair amount...
Thanks for any suggestions!
