Blazer/Tahoe rear window

[wheeliemay]

Hello everybody...

I've got a 94 Blazer K1500. The rear glass is difficult to close. I know that many others before me have had this issue and evidently there is some adjustment that can be made to the latch. My issue may be a little different. The back glass seems to move independantly of the glass frame. For example, when the rear hatch is closed, I can lift the glass away from the vehicle about 1/2 inch--while the latch stays closed. It almost seems like the glass should be in an outer frame. It has been like this since I have owned it. Does anyone out there know if there should be an outer frame surrounding the bottom of the back glass? Maybe if someone was willing to post an image or two of their back glass it would help. Thanks

Welcome!
Sounds like the latch needs adjustment. Isn't there a metal loop on the top of the tailgate that the window lock latches too? IIRC that loop can be moved in or out.

The loop is mounted to the inside of the liftgate and the latch is on top of the tailgate. It is possible that the latch mech. is worn out. I would like to come up with something to actuate the latch just to see how that part is working.
