Default Rear hatch weight

Does anyone know how much the glass rear-hatch weighs?

Thanks
Mark

I'm just guessing but it wouldn't surprise me that it weighed 25-30 lbs.

I have a book at work that has the answer (I'll have to wait for tomorrow morning to check). If I remember right, it is 64lbs.

65-75 sounds about right. I know the glass on a 4th gen fbody was at 70 and they are about the same size.

My original rear hatch glass and hardware is in storage. Do know it is heavy and took two guys to take off. The polycarbonate hatch on the back now weighs 16 LBS with three Zues fasteners, no struts or bottom latch. Fits real tight on new weatherstripping.
