Need 1997 Chevy Blazer hinge for the rear end-gate glass
 
NOTE: Before you read my original post, I was just informed that there is a difference between a "lift-gate" and an "end-gate".
What my 1997 Blazer 2-door, 4-wheel drive, has is an "end-gate" for which the lower part, like a tailgate drops down, with a separate "end-gate" glass window that lifts up.
I also own a 1997 Blazer 2-door, 2-wheel drive, which also has an "end-gate" for which the lower part, like a tailgate drops down, with a separate "end-gate" glass window that lifts up.
*** the specific hinge that I'm looking for is the hinge that supports the "end-gate" glass window that lifts up.

I have edited my original post, replacing the word "lift-gate" with the word "end-gate"...... (see below)

I need the drivers side hinge for the rear end-gate glass, for my 1997 Chevy Blazer 2-door, 4-wheel drive, V6, 4.3L.
I live in Los Angeles and I have checked the local junk yards. Any ideas where I can buy this specific upper glass window end-gate hinge online?

Are the hinges for the rear end-gate glass the same on the 4-door versions as my 2-door version?
Which other year Blazers would have the same type of hinges for the rear lift-gate glass?

Does the GMC JIMMY have the same exact hinge for the for the rear end-gate glass?
Does anyone know if any company has RE-manufactured these rear end-gate hinges? Or where they can be ordered?

Could you post a picture pointing out the part that you want?

Note that there is a technical distinction between a liftgate, which is door that is the full height that lifts up, and an endgate for which the lower part, like a tailgate, drops with a separate endgate window that lifts up.

However, I suspect that for the windows of either, the hinges are integral with the windows.

Have you not been able to find a U-Pull yard to find a Blazer with what you need?

BTW, yes, the rear gates on the 2-door and 4-door are different for the 2nd gen Blazers.

Yes, I need the hinge for "End-Gate" glass / not a "Lift-Gate"

--- A. Thanks! - I did not know there are "Lift-Gates" and "End-Gates". I have edited my original post, so hopefully it's less confusing now.

However, I suspect that for the windows of either, the hinges are integral with the windows. --- A. Yes, but the hinges are removeable from the glass window.

Have you not been able to find a U-Pull yard to find a Blazer with what you need? --- A. No, I have been searching, but have not yet found this specific hinge in a U-Pull yard.

BTW, yes, the rear gates on the 2-door and 4-door are different for the 2nd gen Blazers.

Thanks so much for letting me know there's a difference between a "lift-gate" and an "end-gate".

BTW The reason I pointed out the difference in the names is that I've been burned when trying to find parts only to discover GM can have very specific names for things. LOL

As to finding a hinge, likely the only option is to try to find one at a wrecking yard.

A place that might have them is LMC Truck, but it would be a long shot.

Good Luck!
