K5 PLOWER
1/2 ton status
Hi Everyone,
I am a new member to this form but have been using the information from the posts for years... I am from NJ and I use my 89 K5 for snow plowing. Last night when lowering the rear window I thought it cam off track as about 1/4 of the way down the left side would suddenly drop. I could get it to go all the way down if I used the key in the tailgate and held the glass level.... I took a look inside and it turns out that the cam channel that mounts the arm to the glass on the right side had rusted through. I manager to rig it together using some JB Weld to get me through this storm and I just ordered the 2 new cam channels, the window sash, and the rubber channel filler. Of course when I went to try and close it last night the window would not go up but thanks to another post on this forum I figured out it was the safety switch and how to bypass it.
My question for everyone is once my new parts deliver to me what do I need to know to remove the glass from the tailgate so I can replace the cam channels and sash. Also does anyone who has already done this job have any pointers beside don't break the glass?
