     I've found that it was not necessary to have the latches pull the 
     windows in real tight in order to seal the frames. I have set mine so 
     that they just pull the window lightly onto the body seal. I bolted 
     the dash clips on instead on welding them so that I could adjust them 
     once i'd fitted the windows.
