A full picture like this on the window might help or put your dog in there for the night or install an alarm system.

is there a way to keep the latch down on the wing windows not those s***ty locks like at autozone?????

Every one of these trucks need at least a kill switch. The alarm to keep them from just looking. IMHO
Not much else to do.

The latch should be fairly tight. Enough so you can't get it open. But, you have to remember that a determined pr#ck is going to try it again and damage your window. An alarm would be your best bet.

I did a quick google and came up with this.

If you get it latched good, they'll just break something to get in.

I had my truck broken into years ago and the stereo system stolen. I bought these simple locks that I saw on the LMC Catalog. Here's the part number as a reference:

38-1228

VENT WINDOW LOCK SET 1 REQ

9.95
