Re: tailgate crack
the crack is caused because the tailgate has play in it when closed that the glass does not. years of flexing cracks the sides of the window channel on the tailgate. to see what i'm talking about look at how much movement the tailgate has when latched with the rear glass down and how little it has with the rear glass up. the only good fix i've seen was putting very firm weather strip and adjusting the latches so the tailgate wont move when closed. there is also a spot welded brace inside some newer model tailgates.
