Bolt at bottom, clip at top.

I have a spare one for sale now if anyone wants one. I can't remember what I paid for it, but I know it was more that I thought it should be. First $20 + shipping takes it home.
PM or e-mail me...

so...would anyone mind posting a little more detailed instructions?

1.open hatch
2.Prop hatch open, with a stick (or it will fall on your head)
3.Remove the C clip and the strut pin holding the strut to the glass, (you don’t need to remove the fastener in the glass.)
4.Undo the connection to the body, if I recall correctly I used a 10mm open end wrench, and just unthreaded it from it’s mount.
(Installation is the reverse of removal.)
If you don't have a manual, there is a picture of the Rear hatch components assembly in the Victoria British LTD. Catalog.
