Question
Hi Mike,
The rear window above my tailgate won't stay up by itself anymore, I checked all the connections, still no luck, I have to prop it open with a stick to load items into the rear !
Thanks !!
John

Answer
    It won't be an electrical problem.  There's an X-shaped bracket that's attached to the motor.  It has these little plastic bushings that hold it in place and run up and down in channels.  One or all of those bushings has either broken or worn down so much that it no longer holds the window up.  You'll need to unscrew the inside of the tailgate to get at them; the dealer sells them very cheap.
