Of course, after I fix the whistle I'll have the rest of the noises a 25 year old Vanagon makes to remedy.>> Wil-stle while you work. When you say "difficult to close", do you mean difficult to turn? An easy to find out if a tighter latch will work is by pushing the glass close as you drive. If it gets quieter, then you need to adjust your latch. If it doesn't, you need to check how pliable you window seals are. There's always buying a new minivan. They're quieter. =) BenT Wil
