#74 of 76 Tail Gate Lock by mheff1 Aug 29, 2007 (8:11 pm)
Upon taking ownership of my first 2005 Avalanche the previous owner was demostrating how the tail gate lock work. After a couple of unlocks and locks it is now stuck in the lock position. Would have anyone else heard about this problem:   mheff

Replying to: blesseuer (Jul 02, 2007 10:24 am) Other than parking in one's vehicle in your garage to protect it from the sun and weather, the best thing to protect it is good old fashioned cleaning and maintenance. The bed cover and other plastic from fading is using wipe on protectants, particularly with UV protection. Consider it part of normal maintenance along with washing and waxing the paint, cleaning and protection your dashboard, etc. Granted some plastics and paints are more suseptable to fading, but a little maintenance goes a long way to help prolong the looks and performance of even 'problem' plastics and paints.

I previously owned a 2004 Avalanche Custom (long story), but now own a 2005 Avalanche with standard tonneau and textured plastic panels (non-cladded).   They were fading something fierce. There IS a TSB for the fading plastic and the Chevy dealer should have it. The information can be found at the link below:   Fading black panels   I had this done to my Avalanche and it looks like a brand new Avy now! IF you can get the dealer to do it (mine did), it is great. If they won't you can STILL buy the products and do it yourself.   http://www.gatorbackcoatings.com/home.htm   Hope this helps people!   -Paul
