Sierra 1500 2WD V6-4.3L (2008)
Vinyl contains unique thermal properties that cause it to expand in cold conditions and retract during hot conditions. Under recommended install
temperatures of 21°C (70°F), the tension screws should be adjusted as shown below.
Important
Be sure to adjust both sides to the same tension.
3. Inspect and verify that the tension screws are adjusted to the 4.76 mm (3/16 in) gap shown in the illustration above. If adjustment is necessary to
tighten, turn the screw clockwise with the 1/4 inch key provided.
Cause #4
The condition may be caused by over travel of the latch during operation, causing the latch spring to bind.
Correction #4
Note
A new design of the latch system now contains a latch stop (1) to limit the travel of the latch during operation. This new latch stop prevents over travel
and keeps the spring from binding.
Verify that the latch system contains a latch stop, noted in the illustration above. If the stop IS NOT present, replace the latch system with latch spring
stop service kit, P/N 19213898 and a new latch assembly service kit, P/N 19201885.
