Tightening rear quarter windows

[SteveBoilard]

Hi--I recently purchased a 1963 R1, and I'm slowly taking care of a number of fairly minor issues that I've discovered. My latest project is tightening the rear quarter windows. I can pop them open with their hinged latches, but above like 35 mph the wind pressure blows them closed again. Years ago I had a similar problem with a Studebaker Hawk, and I was never able to fix it. I tried silicon seal on the pivot point, bending the latch a bit with a pair of pliers, etc.

I suspect this is a common problem, but I can't find any posts on this forum about how to correct it. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Steve

If you tighten the screw with the wave washer under it, (between the body bracket and the swing out latch), it tends to tighten up the hinge assy.
