     Bill, check first to see if your window has the nylon slider inserts
on the outside of the window.  If these are missing, the sliding part of
the window will fall down far enough that it won't catch on the notches.
The parts are a few bucks each at the dealer.

     This is also a great way to non-destructively break in to your van
if you ever need to.
