As in the latch is not functioning/working, or it is too tight for you to finish flipping the lever?

Make sure the back door is open and that the window is "fully seated" into the quarter panel channel.

As mentioned above, make sure the back hatch and gate are open. Also, try undoing the rear latch and starting with the front latch.

Take a photo of the latch and share it.

Make sure the rubber that surrounds the window is seated properly.

Mine are VERY difficult to turn sometimes, as the metal 'plunger' is difficult to depress. I usually depress it with my finger first then spin it to lock the window into place.

Hit the plunger and latch with a little lubricant and work it into both. If that doesn’t solve your problem you might need a new spring washer in the latch. Just remove the bolt, clean things up, add a new spring washer, add a drop of blue loc-tote, and hand snug the bolt. I will be working like new.

Good luck!

I was unaware you could take the unit apart and do that. I'll definetly look into it. Thanks.
