Rear Hatch Problem

I found that at the top of my hatch where the metal trim wraps the top of the glass, there seems to be a seperation of the glass and metal trim. I thought about swapping hatches but both hatches are the same way.

Has anyone else had this problem? I am trying to figure out how to pull off the metal so I can possibly bend it to the correct position.

This is an extremely common issue with these cars. Here is a Link to PP that has directions on how to fix this, I have yet to do it but it looks like it should work.

Oh man.....very common. Mine was separated as well. I did the reseal as evil has posted and its a PITA! Mostly because the glass was broken!!! But, Evil's post/link is very helpful and the exact instructions I used and was successful. I have another to do and will follow the exact same procedure.

as an aside, and its kinda funny that I mention "syringe" in your two recent posts (im not a druggy), but I really wanted to take a syringe, find a sealant that was thinned enough and simply inject it inbetween the glass and frame but never found a sealant that would work. Maybe now there is as I was looking in 97. Let me know if you do.

I've have a spare hatch. I'll look this afternoon and see if it is bad , if not your welcome to it.
I'll get back to you on your hoses this afternoon.

944-LT1, I was thinking the same thing. I have glazed and re-glazed a lot of glass over the last few years and have noticed that when 100% silicone is warm from being outside or in a hot car its very very fast running. My only concern with it would be that it would not stay pliable enough for everyday use. I also imagine that a real glass sealer, the black crap, would get just as runny in the sun before it hits air. I may have to try it for fun when Im done working on the conversion.
