coheed Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I needed a latch for the rear slider I'm going to install in my truck. Decided to take a shot at an available Ford latch F65Z-1527158-AA. It's a little large, and I had to modify it a tad, but it will work for the OE slider window. Here you can see where I filed down the corners. The latch measured 1.5" and the opening it needs to slot into measures 1.25" There was also a small post that kept the latch from swinging all the way down that I cut off so it can engage well with the rail. And here's what it looks like on the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rylee144 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 That looks good. I wonder if that could all be 3D printed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a stupid simple spring to keep it closed, and pivots on a roll pin. You could probably get it modeled and scale it down enough to where you don't have to trim it. But it was only $12 so unless you already had all the tools idk how cost effective it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
