Burb Files: Episode 8 Part I: 1973-1991 Suburban Tailgate repair Hate is a real thing...

In this episode, we find out why the tailgate window will not go up or down with the key. We also "weld" the window into the track with windshield glue. It worked pretty well.

That rusted part is called a "sash" and LMC. truck sells them. They also have the plastic rollers.

[@BurbFiles]

I searched on LMC and even called. The only ones I saw were for a K 5/10. The Suburban and and K series and Jimmy etc, have a different window.

Those 7th gen Suburbans are very rare nowadays.

[@dude3640]

Right on, thanks!

[@BurbFiles]

No problem!

[@Yousitech]

I'm so happy that my suburban came with barn doors. But it's a custom deluxe without factory ac so win some lose some I guess

[@zackosteen749]

I've been thinking of converting mine over to a manual regulator and crank. Thoughts?

[@BurbFiles]

Do you have a manual tailgate donor?? I’d love to see a conversion. I say go for it!

[@mariannemoad5504]

Any chance you know how to replace a tailgate window crank with a new crank? My 75 is a beast!

[@BurbFiles]

The same for the electric, but with a hand crank!

[@federicogarcia2621]

[@BurbFiles]

1990

Hey bud did you take down the tailgate latch mechanism video? I’m not seeing it here…

[@BurbFiles]

No, I think it is part 2 of Tailgate hate.

[@danielspangle8284]

How did you get the defogger window for the tailgate

[@BurbFiles]

It came with the truck and is original.
