Default Leaking hatch glass

Does your rear hatch glass leak? Well don't spend a lot of money to have a new seal put in. The issue with most is that the existing seal becomes dislodged from the hatch itself. If yours leaks you will probably be able to push the glass away from the hatch as shown in the first pic. To repair this problem use a flat head screwdriver and run it under the seal to pull it back in place. And don't thank me, I learned it from Bigomudders.

I took these pics of my 87 after I did this process to my 91. It should work up to 96. 97 - 01 may be different due to the design change of the rear hatch.
