The rear hatch glass falling out was a common problem. Most cars have been
fitted with little angle shaped peices of sheetmetal that bolt along the lift
support. These are supposed to keep the glass from dropping.

Subject: [Bricklin] Bricklin Salesman
I took my Bricklin to a car show today and a guy who stopped to look at it
told me he was a salesman at a car dealership that sold Bricklins back in the
70s. He says he thinks it may have been the largest Bricklin dealer in the
country. They had 50 on their lot at once at their peak. The dealership was in
Dallas and he said the heat caused problems. On warm days the heat would
soften the weatherstrip around the hatch glass and the glass would sometimes
fall out. He said that happened to 10 cars in a single day once. He said it
was really hard to talk anyone into buying a Bricklin when there were some on
the lot with the glass out.
