Help! Hinges on 2007 IronMan Snapped!

[MikeyHP]

Was opening my glass hatch and the hinges sheared completely! Is there any known issues with this? I know there was issues with the 3rd gen. Will Add photos soon.

Was it hard to lift the glass before/creaking? It looks like maybe the pins corroded to the point that they wouldn't 'spin' inside the hinge? Only thing I can think of is steel screws and aluminum hinges or something? Dis-similar metals next to each other creating that mass-corrosion?

The part that turns dident brake. It is where the hinge connected to the glass.

just make sure when you replace them your torque everything to spec. otherwise the glass will shatter on you...

Well I can tell that- but if it couldn't turn freely, the bolt area will be stressed a that is the next connection point. I was just curious.
