OK, ever since I bought my Blazer I have had a problem with the latch plate pulling away from my window. I have tried EVERYTHING. I tried SIX different kinds of epoxy, rearview mirror adhesive, putty epoxy and even this stuff called "Steel Weld" that claimed to bind any two surfaces together. Everything I tried was just a temporay fix. Well, Monday it pulled away from the glass again. I tried the "Steel Weld" that evening. You guessed it . . . didn''t work. So there was about a half inch gap at the bottom of my rear glass which created an annoying whistle at anything above 35MPH. Then it started raining and leaking. I just finally broke down and called around to salvage yards and found one for 275 dollars

I picked it up today and I will be installing tomorrow after work. Do any of you have any tips for hanging this thing. I don''t think it should be too hard just 4 torx head screws and the lift struts. I am hoping that I might luck out and get a bonus if the third brake light works. Mine never did. I will let you guys know when it is done and let you know how things worked out.

Well, I installed the rear glass today. It was a piece of cake. And as an added bonus my third brake light works now. The old one never did.

Nothing really. I am going to replace my fuel filter and also maybe my plugs, wires, and cap, but that is about all.
