Default Wind noise on NBS EC windows

I know there is a fix for this other than replacing the window and latch assembly but I can't seem to find it. I found some old post but the pics are dead.

there was a thread a few years ago about this. it had an ebay link in it for an aluminum latch or something and some people modified their factory latches to close the windows tighter i believe. i'd like to know about this as well, im trying to get rid of as much wind noise as i can

Both my 95 and 99 have the screw mod done. Once installed you can't even see it and if needed all it takes is a slight crank to make a better seal.
