Questions & Answers
These are meant to be used with vent windows. There are no vent windows on the 2003 Silverado.
Wing windows are not available on the 2003 Silverado.
Open the wing window and slide the curved metal part over the glass while loosening the knob to allow the part beneath it to slide back, then close the window and slide the metal part back over the window frame while tightening the knob to lock it. None of this will work if it doesn't fit, and you'll be perplexed. I used them on a 1964 GMC pickup, and I hope this information is useful.

I quickly realized that I wouldn't be able to replace the handle, and that I'd have to purchase a new vent window assembly, which was quite expensive. br>I ordered a set of these vent window latches after seeing them on Amazon. Stunning! br> These work great and are simple to set up! I had to gently hammer them in place, but it's a nice tight fit now, and the vent window is secure, with no wind noise and no rain getting in. br>I didn't use the rubber pieces that came with the package because they made it too tight, but they're handy to have on hand. br>These helped me save hundreds of dollars and a lot of time. These are fantastic and I highly recommend them! br>Bruce from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
works. It was difficult to get on. However, it is effective. I had to pound them on very carefully (which was dangerous) - because the rubber that came with them was excessively thick They became even more tense as a result of this. It definitely reduced the amount of wind noise in the cab.
I bought these with trepidation, but figured it was worth a try. I installed vent window seals near the top of the wing window and shimmed the factory lever at the bottom, but it didn't make a difference with whistling and wind noise in my 1973 F100. Silence! I've ordered a new set for my 85 D150; we'll see if I'm as pleased with it as I was with the first, but I'm confident I will be.
These, along with a steering wheel lock and a door-activated alarm, provide me with peace of mind when I'm parked in a parking lot for several hours.
I'm a little sluggish at times, and I mean really sluggish! It took me a year to figure out how the little thief got into my truck in the first place. When people took care of their own affairs and worked for their own gain, wing windows were standard equipment. You're going to need these locks now to keep the creeps out.
They wouldn't work on my 1968 International pickup. Because the part that goes around the glass is so thin, it simply disintegrates and falls off. Maybe it'll work if you use a different type of rubber and glue.
This is an excellent anti-theft device for older automobiles. No one will be able to break in through the wing window without breaking it once it has been installed. I took some WD-40 and applied it to the problem. To make installation easier, put 40 on the rubber.
Because the ones that come with the kit are dry-cut, you'll need to cut your own rubber insulation pieces from your own private stock once you've cut your own rubber insulation pieces from your own private stock. Fulfilled by Amazon, but contacting them about it is impossible because the site runs you around in circles and never provides contact information. rotted from age and instantly snap in half when folded as the directions require. I didn't think they were expensive enough to warrant returning them, but neither were they cheap enough to overlook this major flaw, so here I am, leaving a two-star review for both the product and Amazon's customer service.
