I am searching for the upper and lower left side gate latches for a GMC XUV (the one that turns into a truck). My upper latch housing is completely demolished and there is no fixing it.
So I need to either replace the latch(s) or replace the whole gate.
Does anyone know where I can track one down?

I have both of the latches, but they are in my spare tail gate. As of the moment, they arent for sale.

I purchased new ones on eBay a while ago. Will see if I can find them again.

Edit:
So the part #'s you are looking for are..
15778433 Left Upper
15778434 Right Upper
15778435 Left Lower

There are superceded part #'s, not sure what they are, and they appear to not be available.

All 3 are discontinued thru GM
Not seeing any on eBay either.

thank you! I have been scouring everywhere and striking out. I can't even seem to find a gate. I believe I can clean up the lower one. The upper one is definitely broken.

The endgates are out there.. But are not cheap!

This one is 750 bucks!

I know one of my local yards has a XUV in stock, but I am done wrenching on cars for a while. Back cant do it anymore..

Try here.. Looks like there are a couple in PA


The one in Dawson, PA is cheap, and appears complete, and appears rust free.

Thank you! I’ll take a look around. I’ve seen the superseded part numbers but they are all discontinued as well.

There is an XUV at my local u-pull-it. I saw it 2 days ago. If anyone could post a pic of what is needed ill try to see if its available. I looked at the parts on the GM website but Id like to be sure and get the right thing.
I guess I should try to strip it clean. Might be a good investment since so many of these parts are discontinued...
