Opened my tailgate window hatch and my right side hinge snapped, almost lost my window. Took me forever to push that window back up enough so that I could at least latch it. Went to order from O'riellys and the dam hinges only come in a set for $80.00. Why so dam much and why not the choice of 1 or both? Googled it one EBAY, and somewhat cheaper. But still, the cheapest I found for a single one is $28.00 give or take. This part rusted out and it looks to be doing the same on the left side. I googled the complaints and it looks to be a problem with several. Not just the older ones as mine. I seen some newer year like 2010. If this is a reoccurring problem, why not do a recall on them and fix this?
