'99 Explorer, rear window pivots on the hinges and I have to line them up to close the window. How do I fix this problem? Thanks..

I've not had to do this repair to mine but it seems like a broken window regulator? You'd need to remove the interior door panel of course, see if you can see any fault using a mirror and flashlight, then if it's the regulator, IIRC there are rivets to drill out to remove it. There's probably a topic about it in this forum.
I think what you are describing are loose hinges where they attach to the body. You'll need to detach at least the upper part of the inside hatch trim panel in order to access them. I can't remember if they require a torx or socket to tighten, though. Mine was doing this same thing until I tightened them. May also be loose at the glass. Those require a torx on the backside. Be gentle when snugging those up...don't want to break the glass.
