No you're good man. The threads are definitely jacked. As soon as I try to tighten the bolt even just a little on the Mount, it pops out about 2 threads. I think that over the years they just completely rusted so I was essentially trying to tighten a bolt in a nut made of rust haha.

the window in the hatch or the side window? the window in the hatch from 96-98 had a latch system holding the window with 2 torx screws, 2 hinges and a latch. the 93-95 had a rear window that was "sealed" into the hatch with a rubber seal.

Also, which bulbs do y'all recommend? I'm thinking the 100/80w would be the brightest? I'll be installing an upgrade harness with these as well.
