There were 2 versions of the vent window latches (yes, the ones that were glued on and always fall off). The 1st version is skinnier / smaller. I believe they were used until '69 or '70. The 2nd / larger version one closes on to the frame that sits between this vent window and the glass that lowers into the door. The 1st version also closes onto this frame, but I THINK there's an additional striker plate that goes on the frame so that this latch will close the vent window tightly / securely. I believe this item appears in the pic the above url show bring you to. Its just above where this part of the frame comes out of the door.

I suspect that if you try to use these 1st version latches on a car that originally used the 2nd version ones so that the window frame doesn't have these striker plates, they won't do a good job of holding the vent window closed.

Can anyone let me know if I have this correct?
