So for whatever random reason, the catch for my '92 civic hatchback sheered in half, leaving me with flopping hatch glass. For the life of me, I can't seem to figure out what part it is that I need to replace here. Its the box on the back glass, where a windshield wiper would be attached to (mine does not have a wiper). Does that whole piece need to be replaced? If so, whats that part called? Thanks for any help, here's a couple pictures showing what I'm talking about:

 

Um, whoa. Never seen this problem before. Is it absolute zero degrees where you are? I just can't fathom how this would happen with such a clean break!

If you open up the black box on the window, you'll find there's a couple of bolts that hold the latch on. Easy fix once you have a replacement latch (junkyard).

 

Nope, it was probably 60 degrees out when it happened! Super strange, I thought.

I guess I should check out a junkyard. Believe it or not, I can't seem to find the part online anywhere.

 

The boneyard, [PicknPull] is a good bet, it may not even have to be off that MM&Y of car, I can't see how it would be different say off an Integra with hatch or trunk.

Just bring the broken one with you to match it up. 94

 

it *should* be this piece

Well thanks so much! Looks like that should be it. I really appreciate it.

Seems like its been a very random and rare issue to occur.
