I'll look it over. If we get another warm day here I may attempt
it...as it's already turned cold messing with tiny parts, force and
glass probably should wait.

Of course, after I fix the whistle I'll have the rest of the noises a 25
year old Vanagon makes to remedy.>>

  Wil-stle while you work. When you say "difficult to close", do you mean
difficult to turn? An easy to find out if a tighter latch will work is by
pushing the glass close as you drive. If it gets quieter, then you need to
adjust your latch. If it doesn't, you need to check how pliable you window
seals are. There's always buying a new minivan. They're quieter.
