Interior & ExteriorDiscussions about the interior, and exterior of your vehicle.
This is a discussion thread titled "Rear slider latch broken", within the Interior & Exterior forum, part of the Technical & Vehicle Assistance Forums category.
My dealer says I can't buy the latch I need to buy the entire window and latch for $ 364.54. That seems a little steep when the part that broke is probably at most a $30.00 item. Any thoughts?
I thought there was a TSB for that. You might want to check for it. I can say that i broke the access door window latches and got the 'upgraded' latches for ~$12/each if I remember correctly. They were definitely a TSB item but I had gone over the 36k so dealer didn't want to cover it.
In any case, call around to other dealers and see what they say. For sure buying a whole new window just for the latch is crazy.

The TSB was for the quarter window latches.

No, you can all rest assured there is no fatal flaw in the latch design waiting for you to discover. (Unless of course you consider the $364.00 repair price a flaw, I do). Basically I tried to get something in the truck through the back window and it hung up on the latch and broke it. Not the smartest thing I've done but hey I'm not accused of being smart too often.

If a combo of all these whizz bangs met their claims you'd have to syphon gas out of your tank every second day and sell the excess horsepower on the third????
If we were all smart, and didn't do stupid things, or want to mess with something that is working perfectly fine to try and make it better, TS wouldn't exist!!
