My right rear ext cab window isnt closing as tight as it should and leaks air at highway speeds. The drivers side is tight like it should be but not the pass. I looked and didnt see a way to adjust the latch to make it pull more. Is there something im missing? Thanks

nope.common problem.The main frame of unit is urethaned(glued) to body.Some are set correctly from factory and some not.Also frame hinges are plastic and dont wear well.You need to have whole unit removed from cab and reset tighter to body.Dont latch window shut while glue is curing as this pulls base frame away from body slightly and you will have same problem again.You need the frame as tight to body so latch can pull glass tight as possible.I have reset over 100 of these for dealer and customers..Any competent glass shop can do this
