Hi guys,
I have a '88 civic and recently after a lot of rain and a boot full of water, I realised that one of the latches on the hinged rear side window had crumbled and seperated leaving the window swinging freely. I then realised, after playing with the window a bit, that it was sagging somewhat. I pulled off the plastic trim at the front of the window and discovered that the bottom hinge isn't even connected to the pillar. The screw is still in the hinge but it doesn't seem as though there's anything to screw it into in the pillar. The only thing holding the side window in is the top hinge.
I remember reading something about these hinges here last year but for the life of me I can't find it again after much frustrated searching.
Payed a visit to "Pick'n Payless" today but not one civic hatch. I haven't asked at Honbits yet.
Can anyone help me with knowledge about these hinges i.e. where i'm most likely to find one.
I guess I could always stick the little sucker down with some super strength Araldite but I would prefer to fix it properly if possible.
Thanks guys for reading all this, any help would be greatly appreciated.
