Rear Hatch???? cracked

Is this still a recalled item? Cracked all the way down on the hatch. Very Pi$$ed

There's another LONG thread about the cracked hatch panel. It's been awhile since I looked at it, but I don't recall that this was ever a recalled item.

when my rear window was broken that bottom plate was replaced as well.. Thats why it is so exspensive.. $1,000 window. Insurance covered it.

How long ago was that? There is a TSB now that details the updated process to repair just the panel without window replacement. Although you may still get a new panel with a replacement window, I don't think the TSB spoke to that.

I had my window replaced this past May. My rear hatch hinge broke falling on my brother in law and shattering into a million pieces.. My rear wiper motor was detached. I took it to the collision shop and my insurance covered everything but the new hinges, if i put a claim in for the hinges then it was a comp claim and a 250 deductable. If i paid the 40 dollars for the hinges it was free and covered in full by the insurance company. That included the new bottom panel painted. It was like $967 that allstate paid for..
