2011 Escape Hatch Window Won’t Close

I’m having trouble with the rear hatch window on my 2011 Escape—it won’t stay closed. It seems like it locks shut, but then it slowly opens all the way again.

Has anyone else dealt with this issue? Any suggestions on what might be causing it or how to fix it? Thanks in advance for any help!

It might be the electronic switch or latch. I experienced the same issue.

If your 2011 Escape’s rear hatch won’t stay closed, check the latch for damage, inspect the wiring, and if necessary, the hydraulic or pneumatic system.

A temporary fix like a bungee cord can be used, but address the underlying issue to prevent further damage.
