The latch for the rear windshield is fastened only to the rubber gasket aroud the window, never to the glass as there is no residue as if it ever had been. Finally the rubber broke and the hatch flew open. The hatch will no longer stay closed on its own. I have seen other Blazers with the same "defect".
