Title: Rear Window Latch
Post by: DirtyLittleSecret on April 15, 2008, 08:51:08 pm

Where on earth are you guys getting replacement rear window latches?  All I keep finding is the "cheapo" HELP replacements which last about a week.  Absolute junk, and would like to get something that will actually work.  Cant find any on  competitor either.

this is a good question...i have never replaced the one on my '83 GMC, and yea, it needs it.  i looked around Classic Industries and still came up empty...although they most likely have it, i just can't find it...

Rear window latch.  I must be confused since the rear window is solid...

I too would like an answer to that question. All I keep using is the HELP ones and your right, about a month life span.

OH!  Slider latches.  I remove Sliders from every truck I have.  I hate them.  I have 2 at my house just sitting there taking up space.

YES.  Slider latches would be correct.  The only ones I found on Ebay are the cheap "HELP" series of junk.  There's gotta be something better out there!
