I have been having problems with my rear glass squeaking so I decided to adjust the striker. All went well until the reassembly. There seems to be water leaking around the handle, so I use some RTV to seal it. Good. Went to tighten the bolt and the thing EXPLODED! Parts went everywhere. Found all but one bolt. Seems it is hiding in the grass in my front lawn. (I know, next time work on the concrete). Anyway, anyone know the size of that bolt, or have one I can get at WF? I went through my bolt bin and there is nothing even close.

Talkin' about the "bolt" that goes into the handle from the inside?

They're plastic, ick. I have a couple around here, if ya want I'll take a pic of one. Or you can try to make it here Thursday with one. Wink

It'll HAVE to wait till I get there. Mine were/are metal self tapping bolts. 13MM

Yes, through the light, glass and into the handle.

I used larger stainless philips screws when I put mine back together this morning on the 93, the originals were too rusty and not pretty.

My hatch glass was too deeply etched from the handle/latch collecting road dust, for me to get more creative back there other than removing the third brake....
