I take it you are talking about the triangle-like vents? And by leak do you mean wind noise or water entry?

The driver-side vent on our 88 westy has an annoying wind noise. The seals look perfect. Everything else on the windows and doors is fine. The noise seems to be coming from the forward-most point of the vent. If I press my hand against that point, the noise stops. Any help would be appreciated. Also, the pin on the latch keeps working its way out. It doesn't appreciate being hammered back in. How should this be fixed?

Thanks, Bill & Margie
