I just finished cleaning, and painting all my window frames. Also but new weather stripping in all windows. All windows open with a single finger.. except the rear on the drivers side. When I bought "Odie" and starting the demo I found a lot of glass in the rear. At that time I noticed that window had a different handle latch. That window was the last one I did. My question is
The sliding glass part has been replaced but the rest of the window is original. But what I find is the arch of the glass is wrong. It bows out more then the others. The only way it will come to even try and close is to cut and remove the outside part of the weather strip and let the glass rub against the Aluminum frame. It will close but not latch but a bear to open because its fits tight against the frame. I guess it could be a window that never opens. and just leave it alone. But I am picky about things like that and it bothers me because it does not fit right.

Any ideas other then tearing the window out and replacing?
