There is a how to in the DIY section...you need to replace both the hatch struts and the glass struts, cost is around $70 for the 4 struts you need to replace.

 

Thanks nickm
It seems you have to pull down the roof liner and taking apart the side pannels. to get there geeeeeee.
Thanks for the reply

 

If it's only the rear glass window and not the whole tialgate that's dropping, surely you only need to replace the two small window struts?

If you want the dealer to do the main taligate struts, its about $600.

 

you really do need to replace both..besides by the time you've done all the work and taken the time to access them, you've done 95% of the work. They sit side by side literally less than 1/2" apart so you'd have to work around one to replace the other.

You'll hate your life after doing the job so while you're at it, spend the extra 35 bucks and replace the set of 4.

 

please save me the time of looking it up. . . do all T-regs have the glass lid lift independently of the hatch?

and if so, how do I open it

 

Button under the base of the rear wiper mechanism.

glass open

 

thanks guys. .. .I remember the dealer showing me, but I didn't remember how, or if my car had it or it was just on his demo

 

its a head-scratcher for sure...
