RE: 2003 Suburban DEFECT - rear glass hinge
The glass hinge is loose. You mean you can’t tighten the screws up?
Not familiar with the 03. if it is a hinge screw take it to a glass replacement place, screw the dealer.
When I road water test at the factory we just tightened up the screws in the hinges.
But I may be wrong not knowing how this is attached.
To be sure the hinge is the culprit take a peace of paper, yes just regular paper like you print on. set it inside the window and close it. If the paper pulls out with little or no resistance you have found the problem, if not move the paper over a little and keep trying.
Yes trial and error to find exactly where the noise is coming from.
I can’t understand how a hinge could loosen up and not be adjustable unless it is one of the welded ones for a hatch. Is that what it is?
If the hinge is attached by screws or bolts it should be adjustable.
If it is welded then I am at a loss for why it would have loosened up.
I would tell you how we adjusted those but you won’t believe me. I also would not recommend that you fix it that way. To easy to brake the glass trying to fix it.
We would hit things with a rubber mallet, close the glass on the hammers wooden handle. Not something I would recommend for someone not familiar with the process.
