Some 1988 C/K extended-cab trucks have experienced loosening of hinges and latches glued onto the glass of the side swing-out window. The new windows have hinges and latches bolted onto the glass. If replacement of a glued-on hinge or latch is required, all parts of the window (hinge latch, and glass) must be replaced. Parts from the old design (glued-on parts) window are not interchangeable with parts from the new (bolt-on parts) window.
Replacement parts for the window are:
