I did see your post awhile back on those clips and it looks like a good fix for worn latches. It will surely work on the passengers side but the drivers has more problems. In addition to the worn latch, the housing that the latch rotates in is loose, so its allowing the latch to move up and down. It appears that the housing is crimped or peened inside the the latch assembly. I’ll need to remove the latch to diagnose and I believe I need to remove the wing window and the window and track to remove.

I’m not ready to do all that so I might just try the clips anyway! Who knows, it might just tighten up the door!

Thanks for the tip!
