| Description of the problem | Last year i had the same failure on the hinge that holds the glass in the hatch. I was attempting to close the glass when it cracked. I couldn't put the window down, so proceeded to drive to the auto body shop where he stated he had never seen this type of problem. I got it replaced and am a little worried this will happen again. |
