Title: Sliding back glass window latch
Post by: dsgb610 on February 16, 2016, 06:50:06 pm

On my truck the back glass there is no latch or any plastic or metal. just glass to glass on each side.  Can i purchase this somewhere?

im going to say no, sound like everything has been broken off or removed.

My latch is gone too, i have to put two sticks of wood on each side so the window locks, prevents sliding open. It works great,, but i prefer a latch. I'm trying to invent something simple but effective.

a little secret i do is leave it unlatched. if someone want to break in the latch wont stop them but if i or someone else lock the keys in the truck all i have to do is climb through the back window

Thanks, it could work.

Irish, right, the latch wont keep them out. And,,,,i DID lock myself out before and had to wait for my wife.  Could zip tie a spare key somwhere.
