The top on my Blazer had a slider on the passenger side and a non slider on the drivers side. Well, yesterday I installed a slider, so my dogs can stop fighting for the window :D.
While trying to turn the wing glass (if that's what it's called) that rotates, I broke the bottom hinge. I have looked through my LMC & Classic Parts catalogs and have not found a replacement. First off, do you guys know what I'm talking about and if you do, where can I find these?
 
I have not found any place that carries these. If you watch, you may be able to find a set that these have been broken on, and then steal the hinges. As far as I am aware, the hinges and hardware for the wings cannot be replaced. I was told by a friend of mine that someone used to make some, but they charged over 200 just for a single wing window and hardware.
 
Man that sucks! The hinge is just "pressure fit" on the glass with what appeared to be some type of foam tape. A small screwdriver to pry with and I was able to remove the broken hinge from the glass.
I guess I'll have to hit the junk yards in the spring and see what I can come up with. I don't know why I'm suprised that they aren't available.
 
It seems like the Jimmy at the end of my circle has these, and one of them is broke. I have tried talking him out of the hinges, since mine are pretty worn, but I can't get him to part with them. I even tried to buy the whole thing from him, since the body is in a little better shape, but he wouldn't part with it. Sure would have been nice to get that rust free power tailgate.
 
Heck, can you unbolt yours, even if you can find replacements? All I remember about mine was that the wing window was loose, and since they used such small screws, steel into aluminum, they stripped out. I pulled them and went to solids. That coupled with those cheesy plastic locks were enough for me. But I don't have dogs.
 
Yeah, I broke a head off of one of the screws. I was able to extract it with a pair of pliers though.
Yeah, my pups love to go along with us when we go out and play.
