#70 of 126 Chevy Silverado Tailgate problem by jenna3720 Sep 28, 2007 (12:56 pm)
#71 of 126 Chevy Silverado Tailgate problem by jenna3720 Sep 27, 2007 (11:37 pm)
I have a 1995 shortbed stepside chevy truck. The latch on the tailgate doesn't work I have to use a wrench to open the tailgate. I have looked and I can't find a tailgate to fit my truck does anyone know how to fix the latch or does anyone know where I can get a new tailgate?

Replying to: jenna3720 (Sep 27, 2007 11:37 pm) I'm sure Chevy will sell you a new one but it'll probably cost a grand. Suggest you try auto salvage yards. You may have to get it painted to match your truck color. May also be able to get the latch parts from salvage, much cheaper than entire tailgate. Good luck.   1offroader
#73 of 126 Body molding/trim issues by ls2004 Feb 10, 2008 (12:04 pm)
I have a 2004 Silverado 2500 Crew Cab in the silver color. My door moldings have bumps in them. There is a bump in each moulding. The front bumps are closer to the back end of the door and then back doors, the bumps are closer to the front end of the door. These bumps are in the same spot on each peice. Has anyone ever heard of this before and if so what did you do? Buy new? Thanks! Replies to this message: mule4 (Feb 11, 2008 8:06 am) ls2004 (Feb 11, 2008 1:56 pm) mule4 (Feb 11, 2008 5:10 pm)

#75 of 126 Silverado folding mirror loose by dlpiro Feb 10, 2008 (12:19 pm)
When I went to fold in my passenger mirror it snapped and now swivels loosely. Tried to pry open and noticed the retainer on the spring is off. Any suggestions removing the plastic mirror housing and resetting the spring?

Replying to: dlpiro (Feb 10, 2008 12:19 pm) I did the same thing and when it went "snap", the plastic pieces inside the mirror all fell out in little pieces. Never saw a spring. I could be wrong though. Ended up replacing the whole mirror assembly. Took about 15 minutes.

Replying to: obyone (Feb 10, 2008 1:47 pm) Yea, went to fold in and snap! Tried to remove plastic cover and while pulling apart can see a spring with a retainer clip loose. I guess the retainer slips over the spring and shaft to hold mirror down. Anyway, how much it cost for a new unit?   dan Replies to this message: obyone (Feb 10, 2008 3:07 pm) dlpiro (Feb 12, 2008 8:40 am)
#78 of 126 I've seen replacements on ebay by obyone Feb 10, 2008 (3:07 pm)
Replying to: dlpiro (Feb 10, 2008 1:59 pm) (non-oem) for around $60. I bought one several years ago for the rado for just about the same. I also lucked out cause both trucks were black and so was the mirror. Any other color will need to be painted. Same if you order oem. Just did a quick search and turned 468 items matching silverado mirrors. Just make sure it has the plug for the power mirror and isn't a manual one.

Replying to: ls2004 (Feb 10, 2008 12:04 pm) I had a 2004 1/2 ton that did the same thing & saw serveal on parking lots that had the same problem. that was a flaw with those trucks. My friend & me had ours trucks fixed under warranty.They replace the trim on the side in body shop.
