Subject:Re: Doors hard to latch when windows closed

Mine too.  The number of times that the doors don't latch and have to
slammed a second time can't be good for the door or the latch.  I have
thought that the "flow through vents" behind the rear windows on our '88
should be the solution, but so far they aren't.  When you look into the
vent, you can see that there is some sort of fiber filter or something
inside.  I would love to get this vent apart to figure out if it's plugged,
or if it can be modified to release this pressure build up.  Anyone ever had
these off?
