Back Glass

[jpmaniac87]

Did a search and couldn't really find anything. I've got the lift gate model, a 2000, and the glass hatch, for some reason, is "popping out" on the passengers side. it leaks a little and looks kinda funky, so i was wonderin how to fix this cause the stealership said i had to buy a whole new glass assemly (800 Bones) not to mention their labor. He also said it's a common problem with heat and humidity in the south, where i'm from. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Here's the pictures of what i'm talking about:

This one, look at how out of alignment it is... the right side is higher:

This one's from the side view with door closed:

And here's one with the door open, and you can see how it's separated

Also, the button to open the glass does nothing... Any ideas?

Ok, i've got the part number, "H15847109". Problem is, the stealership wants $855 for the part... Anyone know where i can get this??

For that much I would look into getting a used escalade rear glass with the third brake light, in my opinion it looks better and I will hopefully be doing this mod soon.

Holy crap for that price I agree with NJ04HOE

What do you think about a plain jane glass shop bein able to replace it??

Yeah, ours is doing the same thing... I stepped on the bumper to check it out and I saw that it's busted on top of where the hinge is. It's not leaking yet, but I am going to call around to find a used one.

I hope the picture isn't too big! I don't know how to do this yet.

Have you thought about trolling your local junkyards for the piece of glass? It won't be free, but it'll be a lot less than the dealer!

I have... Problem is, if this is glued, how could i remove and then install it on mine?

thats crazy! reminder to the rest of us to leave a window cracked open.

This is old but thought I would chime in. GM updated the rear upper seal for the window and the strut supports for the window to exert less pressure on the hinges. Problem solved? I guess so. Except that all the glass repair shop don't know about the revised parts and so the windows will just keep breaking.

Apologies re hijacking this thread. I can't find "Post a New thread." Just registered today. I'm looking for a Plastic/ABS "Window Liftgate" instead of glass. I don't want my glass to break anymore. Plz point me to appropriate url, or send me "Post new Thread." Thanks. bowtie4by.
