I'm sure you guys have been through this a million times. I currently have the glass out of the rear window for seal replacement and would like to replace my saggy hinges.

I have tried searching for hinges and can only find one guy that sells replacement hinges or some old posts. Has anybody in the last 12 month's or so found a decent set?

Hey, I got one of them things!
The hinges are a pain, true. I have a set of hinges made by Steve Simpson, cube studio, in the Dallas area. As the hinges age they elongate causing the hatch to hang up in the rear of the latch. Temp repair you can try to compress the hinge body to near the original shape with a vice, but you take a chance of breaking it.
