Default Rear glass totally broken, can it be replaced?

I got rear-ended today and the blazer isnt on me (to check if the 2 long hinges arent bent, dont think so), but since the glass is more or so attached to those 2 hinges that go up and down, should those 2 hinges being undamaged be enough for a glass person to come out and replace it? Right now I have cardboard up My frame was pushed in a bit, the tailgate part...but I dont think that matters as far as keeping glass from being put on. Thanks for your help.

so long as the tailgate portion is straight where the glass butts up to it, then yes, new class can easily be re-attached.

you can probably get it cheaper if you just grab on at the Junkyard (depending on your year).

if your "frame is pushed in a bit" you may have bigger problems than just the glass though...

@abn31b - thank!

The frame is pushed in enough where the wheel-on-gate cant even lock, its pushed in where I cant even push it to lock anymore...it SEEMS all it needs is an inch or less pushed in to click the lock but I cant even do that...So im guessing im really in for it heh

OH! the frame for the glass!!!
I thought you meant the frame as in what the chassis bolts down too....


if it's the whoel back hatch or tailgate/glass you could probably get the ENTIRE thing from a JY (with a little searching) for a lot less than you'd think.
