Re: Ty rear glass hinges
Sure it's the hinges? The squeak is normally from the latch mechanism. You can fix that relatively easily. Either tape up the U shapped latch or you can take the back panel off the tailgate and adjust the mechanism down a mm or 2 to tighten it up. Worked for me.
Here are the part numbers:

Re: Ty rear glass hinges
Good way to get kicked out of the junkyards around here and charges pressed if the staff is actually paying attention. As for me, I wait for the staff to tell me I'm good if it's just odds and ends kind of stuff I'm grabbing. Not willing to take the chance of getting a free ride wearing the matching bracelets in the back seat of a black-and-white.

The staff typical are a bunch of monkeys who don't care especially getting paid minimum wage.... And if your there enough they don't care... If you know them them they don't care.... Your probably the one who doesn't close hoods and doors in the yard too. God are you the fun police... Merry Christmas ya filthy animal.

If you're going to chance getting caught stealing something make it worthwhile. Not a $5 part from an '89 Blazer. Go steal iPhones or something substantial to make your parents proud.

Is that from LMC? I didn't know these wingless hinges were available.

Re: Ty rear glass hinges
I took a piece of vacuum hose and cut a slit it in down the middle and put that on the latch. I took two small zip ties and put one on both edges. Did the same for the tailgate posts. The hinges do have quite a bit of play in them, and it's driving me insane!

GM Parts Direct. They have them with and w/o air deflector. I purchased a pair back in July when I had my Typhoon in the body shop to replace the ones for air deflectors.

Wow, not cheap at all. Some vender here should make some billet ones for us, I'd buy a set.

Re: Ty rear glass hinges
Nope, not the fun police...I just think along the lines of what Typhoon#747 said. If I'm gonna get hemmed up for stealing something, it ain't gonna be over some little BS parts. Just my :2cents: on the whole issue. Not trying to preach, just seems silly to me to risk getting charged with theft over something so trivial, is all.

Re: Ty rear glass hinges
I've thought about recreating these hinges (two of my trucks have damaged hinges). After guestimating what it would take to make these....$100 isn't bad for the brand new OEM parts, and I bet good used ones would be MUCH less than $100.
Unless you are looking for a custom part, different from the original,I think you are better off buying the GM parts:2cents:
