Your latches are most likely not factory. I know this is hard to believe but i had some after market springs that fit latches that came on rig from dealer and decided to buy a new style set made by a company who is GM part provider but, sells them aftermarket. My so called triple chromed had pitted in less than 6 months. There really nice springs would not fit My latches for the some reason. i called and I was told very nicely that I did not have factory GM latches. No way they were on the rig when I picked it up, Yes way. Let me send You what We sell to the factory. Ok Everything fit perfect to My surprise. I called back paid for the latches and asked how they new. She said some dealers just do not order them with them and like anyone else buy some for less and do not know they are not factory spec and put on the cheap ones not realizing the difference. She gave the reason i was able to confirm they sold GM to GM but, i cannot share or i will not get anymore prototypes as these were and i had to talk her out of one of the ten pair they made to take to GM that should end up replaceing the spring available someday. It is sealed and cannot get ruined by grit etc. You can find them on certain sites if you will look around for a spring that looks different than the others. Moss may be selling this spring I have not looked but, have a new mag so i will check, no not the one. But, most likely built to GM spec and the latch may not be. Surprised me but, was proved to Me. If I could tell You what special work this company did for GM You would be convinced but, all i can say is If you ask for GM OEM spec made latch and springs they will match. if one is not they will not match. It was proven to me.
