Dorman - OE Solutions Liftgate Glass Hinge P/N:924-124
Help your rear liftgate glass pivot open and closed the way it should with the Dorman liftgate glass hinge, part number 924-160, a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer and 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer. Dorman designed this hinge to match the original equipment hinge's fit, function and appearance on these applications, and made it from quality materials for reliable service.
The part is listed under two names, Liftgate Glass Hinge / Tailgate Glass Hinge. It connects the separately opening rear window to the liftgate so the glass can swing up on its own, without raising the whole liftgate.
Signs a liftgate glass hinge may need replacing include a cracked or broken hinge, or rear glass that sags, rattles, or won't open and close properly. Diagnose the cause first. If a failed hinge is the cause, this part replaces it. See the Buyer's Guide tab for complete fitment details.
