Xtra cab Quarter Window Latch Repair

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

 

New item number on eBay, and new low price of $6.98 each!

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

 

Oh yea I need these!! I'll be ordering them ASAP!!

 

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

 

Ordered on Ebay. This is a great idea man, glad somebody's capitalizing on the problem. Now I get to use my rear windows!

 

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.

 

Just ordered a set. Cant wait to fix this. I like your honesty in your Ebay ad too. Thanks, Guy

Just broke my first latch yesterday, glad you have these, ordering through Amazon cuz its been years since i used ebay, thanks for making these!!

 

Ordered mine late last week,got them this morning,will install tonight or tomorrow. They are a Hi-grade replacement. Thanks!

 

Got mine in the mail this morning... now I just need to find the time to install them. Thanks for the quick shipping!

 

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.

 

BUMP for a great product. Just going over my maintenance records and saw this again.

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!
