Hatch bolt torque specs

Anybody know the torque specs for the rear hatch bolts? I'm referring to the ones that go through the glass. I'm always afraid I will overtighten and break the glass, so I end up not getting them tight enough.

Re: Hatch bolt torque specs

Is there a trick to undoing them? I have new ones I want to install, but when I turn the nut, the whole bolt rotates. I could grab the head with some visegrips, but I am afraid I would gall the new ones installing them the same way...
