SEINECA Rear Liftgate Glass Hinge Set for Ford Escape/Mercury Mariner/Mazda Tribute (2008–2012) — Right & Left, OEM Fit

SEINECA's rear liftgate glass hinge set replaces both right and left hinges so the rear hatch window opens and closes reliably on compatible 2008–2012 Ford Escape, 2008–2011 Mercury Mariner and 2008–2011 Mazda Tribute models.

If your rear hatch glass is sagging, binding, or no longer staying securely in place, a worn hinge set is often the cause. This SEINECA replacement kit matches OEM fit and function for the specified vehicles and includes the hardware and gaskets you need for a straightforward swap. It's designed to restore correct movement to the liftgate glass without requiring specialized tools.

How does this hinge set match my original equipment?

The SEINECA hinges are produced to the same form, fit, and mounting pattern as the factory components so they align with existing mounting points and glass fittings. Each hinge is built from durable materials to withstand regular use and road vibration. The kit replaces the OEM part numbers listed for easy cross-referencing.

• Direct OEM-style replacement for part numbers 8L8Z78420A68C and 8L8Z78420A68D
• Precision mounting points to avoid modification or re-drilling
• Includes original-style screws and gaskets for a complete installation

What comes in the box and what tools do I need?

The package contains both right and left liftgate glass hinges plus the fasteners and rubber gaskets needed to reinstall the glass. Because the kit mirrors factory hardware, common hand tools are sufficient for the job. Typical installation is completed with basic sockets, screwdrivers, and a helper to safely support the glass.

• Both right and left hinge assemblies included
• Installation screws, rubber gaskets for sealing and vibration dampening
• No specialty tools required — basic hand tools are adequate

Will this hinge set fix my rear window alignment or rattling?

Replacing worn or damaged hinges often corrects misalignment and reduces noise caused by excessive play in the rear glass. New hinges restore proper pivot points and support for the glass, improving how the hatch opens, closes, and seals. If other components (struts, latch, or glass mounts) are damaged, those may also need attention to fully eliminate issues.

• Restores correct pivot alignment to reduce binding and misalignment
• Helps stop rattles by removing excess movement at the hinge points
• Works with factory struts and latch; inspect these if problems persist

How reliable is the SEINECA warranty and support?

SEINECA backs this hinge set with a 24-month warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. If a hinge fails, cracks, or otherwise performs improperly within the warranty period, SEINECA provides replacement support. Their customer service can also assist with fitment questions for the listed vehicle years.

• 24 months limited warranty for replacement on covered defects
• Seller support to confirm compatibility with your vehicle year
• Simple return or replacement process if a covered fault occurs
