71 Blazer lift hatch spring replacement
Do any of you experts know if the side latches
Springs can be replaced? Once open the hatch I have to manually reset the catch by turning the handle and reposition latch. Thanks for any suggestions. |

Not reasonably or easily. Motorcity K5 sells nice new hatch side latches.
