Chevrolet Trailblazer rear window hinge unglued causing water leakage and inability to open gate on Chevrolet Trailblazer

Some Chevrolet Trailblazer owners report experiencing issues with the rear window hinge, particularly when the adhesive that secures the rear glass lift gate fails. This failure can lead to water leakage and difficulties in opening the gate. In some instances, dealers may suggest replacing the window and hinge as a unit to resolve the issue. Owners have noted that this problem can cause water to pool at the rear hatch striker area, especially during rain or when water is sprayed on the roof where the hatch meets the body.
