Rear window plastic latch - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Omar999 · 03-11-2013, 06:55 PM

Hi there,

I would like to know if any body have an idea about the rear sliding window latch ... i hear that there is another type of chrome latch rather than the black plastic one.

any idea or pictures of the chrome latch will help.

thanks

I have a metal one on mine slider, I will take a picture of it when I get home.

I have a bag full of those plastic latches at home. I found a company on the web that makes them and disguised as a company interested in buying a bunch from them, they sent me a bag full for samples. I have enough to replace mine for quite a while now if they break............. that is if I can find where I put the bag now. LOL!

Mine is metal. The only plastic ones I've seen from the factory were on my brother's 94 F150.

I have a metal one in my truck that I pulled off an 80s half ton that I found in the woods. It has 'prestige' stamped into it leading me to believe it's aftermarket

Mines broke! Is there any where to buy a replacement or do you just have to find one in the scrap yard?

GM-power · 03-12-2013, 12:46 PM

Here you go. Im positive its aftermarket like previously stated.

The metal one in the LMC catalog that is made for their sliding window worked on my 85 silverado.. I just had to put a couple of washers on it for spacers.

That is the correct part # in the 73-87 Chevy catalog.

They have a box of different sized latches at every parts store around in the "Help" section for $5 or so. New screws and all. Black plastic.
