(Oct 2023) This was the best video ive seen about this. My window has been non-functional for over a year! I did what you showed and its finally working after what seems like forever. Thanks a lot. 👌👌👌💯💯💯🔥🔥

Nice fix man. I wanted to replace this latch mechanism and the replacement part is $300! Easy solution and money saved. Thank you.

[@jeffcobb9029]

I used two thick 1/4 inch rubber washers that came in one of those wal-mart assortment packages you have to buy when you only need one washer. slit each one with a box cutter and pushed them on. Works perfect for the first time in years. Thanks so much!

Thank you so much for the video, you are a genius! It worked 100% and it was simple. The only thing I did different. I wrapped a thin piece of wire around the fuel hose spacer and tightened it with pliers. This way the slice in the spacer can't open up and and pop off. You saved me a trip to a repair shop and 100's of dollars. Well done my friend.

Gary Olivier Good tip! I’m glad I could help.

[@christopherswenson8167]

I did the same thing plus additional step. Super glued the slice in the spacer first.

[@MattWolfley]

Totally worked, thanks a ton for this video! Saved me ~$400 having a dealership "fix" it

[@JasonGutierrez]

This was great info. Used a heavy duty zip tie and it worked perfectly! Thank you!

[@chrislockwood1321]

Brilliant! Been putting up with this issue for years and this simple fix has me happy again. Thank You!

[@jimcarey299]

Exactly! Problem fixed...thank you!

[@jeffbohn2576]

All GOOD! Just completed your suggestions and it's a homerun!

[@michaelcaron1617]

This worked great for me, but as a safeguard so the fuel line wouldn't crush down and come off, I put a small zip tie around the fuel line

[@kevinantonioworld]

Great idea

[@tokuzumi1]

Just picked up an 04 Escalade. I was wondering how to open the liftgate glass. And now I know what needs to be done if I need to service the lock mechanism.

[@keithpatterson7228]

Thanks. This saved me a lot of time and money

[@michaela7684]

Works great. TY

[@jeffbohn2576]

It would have been helpful if you'd shown how you installed the fuel hose..Just say'n.You've given me a good look so, I'm sure i'll figure it out..Other than that, mighty NICE work.

[@kevinantonioworld]

Jeff Bohn I just cut a slit in the fuel hose and push it on.

[@BodyWeakDotNet]

Great Video

[@rickmercer6437]

TYVM!!!!!

[@antoniusmas2043]

thks

[@TG-ng2ko]

Please explain more about the spacer again cause mine I can’t open the level

[@mrguy3217]

Cables to the actuator are stuck on mine. Any thoughts on how to replace?

[@ryanlopez4371]

Ok so what if nothing works?the glass or the lift gate???Would this method still apply?or is that the actuator Itself?

[@sallywilson7285]

What if it doesn't unlock and that black thing that slides back and forth to unlock gets stuck how can I fix it

[@NankyBadAzz]

Which one opens the trunk

[@martinlandaverde403]

Putting the spacer is not going to let the mechanism slide back in fort when your u push the button.or do you find it to work?

[@kevinantonioworld]

Yes it works because the rubber compresses.

[@rodneyfoumai5512]

genius

[@kevinstaskivige5214]

Excellent thank you. What a poor design. But a great fix

[@markjames4495]

Matt Wolfley yes, seriously

[@Heartbreakrips]

How big is the spacer

[@kevinantonioworld]

teddy is a savage Just long enough to keep the button in the out position, it should compress when you push it and then push the button back out when you let go

[@Heartbreakrips]

What kinda material did you use

[@kevinantonioworld]

teddy is a savage rubber fuel hose, I don’t remember what diameter

[@Heartbreakrips]

How big is the cut to fit around

[@kevinantonioworld]

teddy is a savage Just cut it all the way through, it shouldn’t fall off.

[@michaelabrakson2919]

Mine won't lock. I dont care to open it, I need it to stay locked!

[@El_Gualla]

Me too bruh, did you figure it out?

[@bennessentials4059]

Why arw all these videos already with the door open ? Ot a single videos on how to open it closed whem the handle ismt pulling shit

[@markjames4495]

horribly explained

[@kevinantonioworld]

mark james keep watching until you understand

[@MattWolfley]

mark james seriously....

[@thomasboone2657]

Boostcaro 💊

[@colormesarge]

Legit a ghetto ass fix. You took it all the way apart to do that? Why didn't you just remove the snap ring and install a new spring. Like go to a hardware store and find a similar spring. Damn.
