Default UPDATE with pic Need help with tailgate

I have a 1993 4dr blazer and I'm having a problem with the tailgate door and window. The handle to pop the glass open and to open the door was broken off when I bought the blazer a few days ago. Also the window doesnt latch, it will close all the way but the latch to hold it doesnt seem to grab it. Is there a website that will have a replacement for this?

I may be able to bend the latch back to grab and hold the window shut but I would like to have a handle to open and close it and the door.
*EDIT*


I cannot open this door at all. The little teeth in the handle are stripped so I tried some needle nose pliers to try and grip it but no luck. I just need to open it once so I can try to get the latch aligned again to be able to close the window. Is there a trick I dont know about lol?

LMCTruck.com should have all of the parts required. Your latch may just be out of adjustment. You will have to remove the interior trim to check if you have not already done so.

well I got the door down and took the plastic cover off it. wasnt much room to do anything but I was able to move the latch into place to grab the window. Now when I push the window release button up front though the window doesnt pop out lol.

I would really like to just replace the whole assembly. I think the cable that pulls the latch to release the window is stretched out. and I need to get a new piece to be able to lock, and open the rear as well. Just trying to find the right part on the lmctruck website.
