I compared them and found the latch mounting holes in the body were drilled too far rearward on the "bad" side so the latch couldn't over center like it should. Re-drilled them closer to the window opening and now both windows say open all of the time. Threw away my tennis ball.

But I owned it, drove it and it was titled as a 62 - that much I know.

Never failed though....if I was parked at a car show, on the street or at a restaurant....my balls were usually taken.
Bring back my balls !

I have bungee cords but I'm not going to do that.
I thought the tennis balls had to be the little ones, like you buy for small dogs?
I admit I haven't looked into it much yet, I just noticed it the other day when I drove it right after buying the car.
Thanks for the responses!

If you must use tennis balls….use regular sized ones
I've used tennis balls as well….pain in the arse really.
A bungie cord from one latch to the other (on the outside) works well for long trips.
I think I may try the trimming rubber option though in the future

So, do the latches not work that way now? Or do I have another issue limiting their movement and keeping them from doing as my older ones did?
