YEAR-SPECIFIC REAR HATCH GLASS INFORMATION:
- 1982-1985: Rear hatch glass may be equipped with or without rear-window defroster. Verify the original glass, electrical connections, and spoiler mounting provisions.
- 1986: Certain applications use an external third brake light mounted at the upper rear hatch glass. Confirm the specific mounting and electrical arrangement.
- 1987-1990: Third brake light placement varies by vehicle and spoiler configuration. Spoiler-equipped vehicles may have the brake light integrated into the spoiler, while other applications use hatch-mounted arrangements.
- 1991-1992: Some applications feature an internal third brake light with an upper interior housing attached to the hatch glass. Confirm the original configuration and related wiring.
CAMARO / FIREBIRD INTERCHANGE NOTE: The basic third-generation F-Body rear hatch glass can physically interchange between many Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird hatchback models. However, the spoiler mounting pattern, rear defroster, third brake light, electrical contacts, trim, and hardware may differ. A physically fitting hatch is not necessarily a direct equipment-for-equipment replacement.
BODY STYLE NOTE: Fits compatible hatchback/coupe applications only. Does not fit convertible models.
- One used OEM GM rear back window hatch glass assembly for a compatible 1982-1992 F-Body hatchback.
- Any attached spoiler, hinges, latch, third brake light, defroster connections, trim, wiring, weatherstrip, or lift supports only when specifically confirmed with the individual used assembly.
IMPORTANT: Product photos may be representative. Do not assume accessories or mounting hardware are included unless specifically identified.
The 1982-1992 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird share the third-generation General Motors F-Body platform and a large rear lift-window hatch design. The glass hatch provides access to the rear cargo compartment and is supported by lift struts.
This used OEM GM assembly is suitable for consideration when replacing damaged rear hatch glass or restoring the original factory appearance of a Camaro, Firebird, Formula, or Trans Am hatchback. The basic glass design is shared across the platform, but trim-specific and model-year-specific mounting equipment should be matched before purchase.
Important differences include the availability of rear-window defroster, the 1986 external third brake light arrangement on certain vehicles, spoiler-integrated or hatch-mounted third brake lights on later applications, and upper interior brake light housings used on some 1991-1992 models.
Used glass assemblies may show cosmetic wear, scratches, scuffs, tint wear, seal residue, and signs of previous service. Verify the actual glass condition, metal lower edge, upper mounting areas, electrical contacts, and attached components before ordering.
SHIPPING NOTE: This large glass assembly requires special handling. Protective crating and truck freight may be necessary. Final shipping dimensions, packed weight, shipping method, crate fee, and destination restrictions must be confirmed for this specific product.
- Confirm that the replacement hatch matches the original Camaro or Firebird rear glass configuration.
- Verify rear-window defroster compatibility and electrical connections.
- Compare third brake light mounting arrangements, including external, interior, or spoiler-mounted configurations.
- Inspect spoiler mounting holes and confirm compatibility with the original spoiler.
- Inspect upper hinge mounting points, lift supports, latch areas, weatherstrip, and lower metal trim.
- Use additional assistance when removing or installing the large, heavy glass assembly.
- Follow applicable GM service procedures for removal, installation, and alignment.
- Test hatch opening, closing, latch engagement, weather sealing, defroster operation, and third brake light operation after installation.
1. Will a Camaro rear hatch glass fit a Pontiac Firebird or Trans Am?
The basic 1982-1992 F-Body rear hatch glass can physically interchange between many Camaro and Firebird hatchback applications. However, spoiler mounting, third brake light placement, defroster equipment, and related hardware must be matched.
2. What is different about the 1986 rear hatch glass?
Certain 1986 Camaro and Firebird models use a distinctive externally mounted upper third brake light. Verify the original glass mounting provisions and related electrical connections before ordering.
3. What should I check on 1987-1992 models?
Check whether the original third brake light is integrated into the spoiler, mounted to the hatch, or housed inside the upper rear glass area. The 1991-1992 applications may have a molded interior housing. Match the original equipment.
4. Does this hatch include the defroster, spoiler, hinges, or lift supports?
Included equipment depends on the individual used assembly. Confirm the available hatch's defroster, spoiler, hinges, third brake light, trim, wiring, and lift supports before purchase.
5. How is this rear hatch glass shipped?
The rear hatch glass is oversized and fragile. Protective crating and truck freight may be required. Contact Hawks Motorsports to confirm packed dimensions, shipping charges, crate fees, and destination restrictions.
