WHEN IT RAINS WATER LEAKS IN THROUGH THE SUNROOF. *TR
THE HINGE HOLDING THE REAR WINDOW TO THE LIFTGATE IS PULLING AWAY FROM THE GLASS. I AM AFRAID THAT THE WINDOW IS GOING TO FALL OFF OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO, THE WINDOW HAS SHIFTED FROM ITS INTENDED POSITION SO THAT WHENEVER I OPEN THE LIFTGATE, THE TOP OF THE WINDOW CATCHES ON THE TOP OF THE BODY. *JB
