Sliding Window Latch

1979 CJ-5 · January 11th, 2006, 03:59 PM

I know it took me a year, but I finally have new glass in my hardtop and it is finally installed on my newly painted tub. The glass is actually slightly tinted but it is hard to tell from the pics.

I took some completed pics today:

Here's a pic showing the interior "granite" paint:

I'm still having problems with the weatherseal and haven't been able to get it to stick properly.

Also, I'm still trying to find a lock for the windows. The driver side had one but there's nothing for the passenger side and I can't find a source for anything usable. Here's a pic:

Does anyone have any ideas on something that will work?

Yes

I really like the hard doors with lower windows, the paint looks really good all around.

go to Gm dealer, ask for rear sliding window latch for 2003 sonoma, they're kinda small so wont hinder vision much, and will do the job just fine,..
