Hey guys,

I am having an issue with my rear glass. It does not latch into the tailgate - it looks like there is a missing spring or something but I don't have any photos of what is "Correct".

The tailgate latches just fine, but does not capture the piece on the glass. I can take a photo this evening after work to better show what I mean.

Here are a couple photos that show the latch - When I took the rear panel off, I found glass - so it has been broken into previously which I suspect is why I have issues with the latch now.

The latch appears to be in the locked position.
From what I can recall, there is a spring that works with the pivot portion of the latch. Moving that part with your fingers, do you feel spring tension?

Have you also tried adjusting it?
