Some 1991 Bravadas may experience difficulty releasing the rear endgate window latch and/or the endgate may be opened without a key. These
conditions may be caused by an endgate window latch which has dirt contamination, a deformed spring leg, a missing or broken spring, a bent release
lever, a bent frame or a latch which is misadjusted.
To correct this condition, it is necessary to properly adjust the endgate window latch assembly and/or replaced using the procedure below.
Adjustment Procedure:
1.
Check for proper window latch assembly adjustment by performing the following steps:
Notice:
To open the end gate, insert the key into the lock. COUNTERCLOCKWISE. Turning the key/ handle clockwise and exerting excessive force may result
in a broken lock assembly.
^
Hold the window/glass handle and try to move the glass in and out. If the latch is misaligned to the striker, a rattle condition will exist.
^
Inspect the endgate glass for a snug fit against the top and sides of the body opening.
