Wait, you can open the rear glass from driver seat on a XLT?
That's suck on a brand new car!
Keep us updated how it goes getting it replace.

I was so upset because I just got done detailing it too

Oh my.... Sorry that happened and hope you can get it fixed without too much hassle. Did the glass open far enough to catch your garage door as it was opening?

Did that to my 2007. Wife just closed the garage door on the rear hatch of my 2018 putting a nice gouge in the paint. Life goes on and touch up paint is cheap. Garages are a double edged sword when these large vehicles are stored inside of them.
It’s unfortunate but you know, the silver lining is that we have the means to replace it. I don’t want to sound like we have a ton of disposable income, but I definitely realize the blessings we ha e to be able to afford a vehicle like this.
Good need is it’s getting fixed now.

Man that SUCKS, I am really sorry that happened. The day I brought mine home I popped the hatch open forgetting to check the clearance...hadn't even had it for 2 hours and scratched the hatch. I have obviously adjusted the opening height now, but that was not my best moment.
Next time skip the parking brake release alltogether...if you just put it in gear and touch the go-pedal, the parking brake will release automatically.

Bright side is you can drive around & enjoy that open-air feeling Jeep Wagoneer / Toyota 4-Runner fans rave about.

I feel you brother. That sucks hard, but like you said, at least you have the means to fix it. I had a ragtop Mustang many years ago with the glass rear window and used the power fold down on an unzipped rear window. the thing exploded all over the trunk and it took me three months to save enough to have that replaced. Total ID-TEN-T moment.
aggiegrad05 has the right idea, or you can release the parking brake after engaging reverse since the tailgate will not open if the vehicle is in gear, which you should inform your wife of prior to her taking you to the airport and dropping you off.
Few years ago, girlfriend had liftgate up and backed Expy into garage … breaking an eagle I had hanging down. She never said anything. I found the broken eagle and asked her. I said "you broke my eagle". She said "I didn't break your eagle, your Expedition broke the eagle"

I never use the parking brake for anything unless I'm on a steep hill which we seem to be lacking in this part of florida. But in any event I never use it in the garage .sorry you had that problem.

Sorry to see that. But, glad I remembered to set the height limit the first time I parked it in my garage after purchasing the truck!
That stinks, but it looks like only glass at this point?
A co-worker found out that his dog will walk under the rear of this brand new Edge Titanium with white platinum paint when the fob was in his pocket and swung open and put a nice dent and decent gouge in the hatch.

On the way to Thanksgiving dinner one year I backed out of the garage with the rear passenger door open about 1/2 way, crunched up the door real good. When I noticed what was happening I threw the car in park (thankfully) and flung open my door - into a toolbox I had in the garage. I had only had the car a few months.
When I told the story to my insurance, they wanted to charge my deductible twice since it was technically two different events.
