Default Rear Hatch - someone interested in it...or the glass out of it.

I'm either going to take the glass out of the hatch and trade that with someone for a hatch frame...just wanted to save someone that problem and cost of installing a hatch.

Not sure I understand. Are you offering the whole hatch, glass and frame?

It will be almost impossible to separate the Glass and the Frame. It should be a Full trade. Complete Glass and Frame for Broken glass and frame. Went through that nightmare of trying to save the glass.

that's what i was hoping for...if someone has a broken one...I wanted to save them the 3k it costs to replace...i'm putting lexan in so i'd just need a new frame.

Is your hatch intact or is it separating? I'm in the lewisville area...

The glass out of the frame is worthless. I may have my old glass if the mechanic hasn't tossed it yet.

If the glass out of the frame could be put back into the frame successfully, people would be repairing hatches and not replacing them and that doesn't seem to be the over all experience.

$1588 from sunset delivered to the door in louisana is what I was quoted less than 6 months ago for rear back hatch glass/frame.

I bought mine used with no seperation for $177 from houston texas.

I have pulled the glass out of three frames and resealed them. Well, I had my glass man do it and he said don't bring me another one...please.

The trick is getting the glass cut out of the frame, putting it back in is not all that hard. Lost one glass in the process.
