wing window quick fix info! look!

Here is something I did today out of total disappointment that there was some wind noise left. A while back I ordered some new door window channels and door edge pieces, the wing window rubber looked good that day so I didnt order it. Got it apart one door at a time changed the 4 items per door, it came out great! Go down the road for a test and lots of wind noise from passenger wing, rubber still looks good, but wing lever is a little sloppy. I am not into matchbooks stuffed in to tighten up the slop (I think my dad used to do that), so I brainstorm for all of two minutes, drive the roll pin out and put a little bend in it (a door hinge trick) and that tightens up some slop in handle but it still doesnt fit against divider bar tight, so I take handle off, drill very small hole in flat contact surface in handle and fit in a small panhead screw, put handle back on, file flat a little at a time to fit, Bingo. It doesnt show when shut from outside, cant see it from inside, when I go to town next will pick up a brass screw so it can self lubricate (if thats possible). Now after reading this I know some of you are wondering , but the answer is NO, I dont have any bailing wire on my truck! Let me know what you guys think, Jerry Rig
