- 1999 Ford Explorer Sport
Hello,
I have a stock 1999 ford explorer and am having some issues with the rear window hinges. The right hand side hinge has come off of the body of my car and is only connected to the window now. The bushing I have, but the screw has fallen into the frame of the rear door. I am wondering how I should go about fixing this? Its not the first time that this has happened either. I was able to make a quick fix last time, but I am looking for something thats going to last longer.
I took out the struts so that the window is not being pulled upwards and warped, but I am nervous that I will make a mistake and shatter the window if it flexes the wrong way. Is it worth buying two new hinges in this case, or should I buy one new one? I was also thinking that I could get Lock Tight and just glue the screw into the hinge.
