    Thanks so much for the pointer! I imagine the latch screw would be closer to the door handle on the side that faces the back of the car. https://youtu.be/JdL0zpOO3iM Thinking about just the side windows and purchased a heat gun since its just $20! Lot of reviews says rear window are hard on...

    Plugging a flat - lessons learned
