How is it removed? I do not see a nut or access hole for a socket like they showed in the Explorer video.

It does not have a nut underneath like the Explorer or Mountaineer. It simply unscrews from the top with a socket and the underside of the glass is a T-20 torx bit.

Bolts are on inside hinge. You need to remove glass or liftgate
