    How the heck did you know I had a broken window latch? This is weird.

    Bump for a great, hard-to-find (in fact, unique, because it's aluminum) part.

    Shipped quick and was easy to install and they work great!!!! Good deal since they will last lifetime of the truck most likely.

    gradually replacing the bumper with hairy bondo ;-)
    Got mine - looking forward to having usable rear side windows for the first time (both broken when I bought the truck..)

    Put them on. Rather than follow the video method (what's with that pointless music, rather than a voiceover, anyway?), given that the access to the screw is at an angle, and I know it's JIS rather than Phillips from my motorcycle experience, along with how easy it is to strip a JIS head with a Phillips driver, I just climbed in the truck with a pair of channelocks and a broken off solid end of an 1/8" drill bit. Pressed the pins back out the way they had been put in just far enough to get the dogbone out/in, leaving them in place on the latch parts. Pressed them back in with the new dogbone. Rattled a bit on the body side - pressed it back out, tried something that was not too effective, and then tried teflon plumbing tape, about 2" folded into a square (2" or so folded until the length was the same as the width of the tape - quite a few layers) on top of the dogbone over the hole before pressing the pin back in (so the pin pulled/stretched it into the hole.) That worked a treat. Solid, no rattles.

    Got a chance to repair my busted one today, took about ten minutes, more time walking back and forth for tools, did the channel lock thing on the reinstall and that worked great, thanks for providing a quality, much needed part!

    Replaced mine this morning. Used a hammer, punch, and channel locks. Very easy and a great replacement product.

    All,
    If you've recently looked on eBay or Amazon for pivots and cant find them, it is due to me being out of stock. My machinist's water jet machine was down for sometime, and the order was delayed. I should have more in next week. I'll post new links once I get them in.

    Thanks for your patience!

    Hey red rum I think I placed an order without know you were out of stock. When do you think you'll be shipping them again?
