Mine spit that spring out a few years ago and now my slider will not lock. Anyone know where I can get the spring and also a little small cylindrical shaped part (if memory serves me correctly) that is also missing? Thanks everyone. ? David Clarkson 90 Westy (282,000 mi.)

Remove the two screws, being careful not to lose the spring. Then you? can reattach the inside plate to the glass and outside plate. Then replace? the latch part.? You need a short screw driver to reach up inside the replace the screws.? Jerry? ? ----- Original Message -----? From: "Mister Tom" &lt;TomsGroups@SALICOS.COM&gt;?
