My son-in-law closed the back glass and the screw broke off that goes into the hinge. When we opened the back glass to replace the left hinge the right hinge broke the very same way.

Four years after replacing the glass because it exploded now I have to replace the hinges which is going to cost nearly the same as replacing the glass.

Ford products are rust machines. The rear window was ready to fall out and it would have cost much more to fix.
The screws holding the windows just plain rust out. If someone would not have made me aware of this I would have lost the back window. The engineering on the Ford Escape 2001-20012 is horrible. These are repairs that should never happen. I would never ever go to dealer if my life depended on it. They screw the public beyond belief.
They don't give a sh*t that Ford is responsible. I don't care if I live in MI (where I do) or Florida--Ford never takes responsibility.
