Vent window latch

The latch on the drivers vent window is not tight. It flops and the window does not pull up tightly to the seal and a massive air leak comes in and is annoying. Is there are away to tighten it up or is this a sign of needing replacing? If I have to replace it does anyone have a tutorial on how to? I've never had to deal with vent windows like this before. The ones I have had a crank. I like those.

Re: Vent window latch

I would think it is the plastic/rubber washers that go around the hole the latch fits through. I have had more than on set with this issue. It is as simple as removing the pin and unscrewing the latch. If this is your issue you will be able to tell if the latch wiggles around in the hole.
