2002 EXPED Rear Glass Strut Right Side

[Ted Rund]

In the photo below of my rear glass in the upright position (passenger side), you can see the two holes that receive the threaded bolt which holds the gas window strut in place. Does anyone know: the length of the screw, the thread size, etc. Does a nut go on the other end? If no nut, then do I use a thread sealer to keep the bolt in place?
Thanks All.

The Gen1's use a Clevis Pin with a C-clip on it to retain the upper end of the glass support strut. What's on the other side ?

Clevis Pin for liftgate glass support strut

If you measure the length and diameter of the pin you need you can most likely find it at a local autoparts store, or Amazon.

Maybe something like this springed pin will work

Hamfisted,
Your clevis solution looks like the way for me to go. The spring pin solution looks a bit bulky. I didn't bring up the drivers side, because I have the same problem there also. Thanks for great advice.

Everyone,
Problem solved for $3.

Hamfisted's clevis solution is the correct solution (see post #2), however, no big box, little box, or specialty bolt store near where I live carried the 5/32" diameter clevis pin WITH A GROOVE to do this repair correctly. (3/16" diameter is too big)

My work-around solution was an #8-32 diameter x 7/8" bolt with a NYLON nut. These were obtainable for me in black color locally at the big boxes.
I hope this helps someone in the future.
