Your spring loaded latch has a flat tip screw at the bottom of it. Remove this and take off the latch, spring and screw. You will see two screws that are probably tight already. Your rubber has shrunk that goes between the two pieces that are sandwiched together on the glass. You can get new rubber seals from dealer and reassemble. When I tinted my windows that gave it enough extra width that it tightened back up. Hope this helps.
