Just a word of warning to anyone planning on replacing one of their liftage hinges at some point.
Part number 1L2Z-98420A69-AA on the box, showing "MIP 433H" and "F87B 7842 OA69" on the hinge itself.
The part numbers matched on my old hinge and new hinge, however, the mounting bolt that connects to the liftgate itself (as opposed to the window) is larger on the Ford replacement hinge. I do not know at what point this change took effect.
A 1/4" drill bit will enlarge the hole to perfectly accomodate the new hinge.
The old hinge also uses a metric size 6 nut, whereas the newer uses a metric size 7 nut (which is included with the hinge).
The new hinge does NOT include the Torx bolt (size 30 I believe) that goes through the glass, nor the rubber pad that rests between the bolt and the glass itself. I managed to reuse my old bolt and steal a similar pad off the old hinge.
Hope it helps someone!
