You replaced the glass already, but your latch is not working?

if the latch works and be locked and unlocked, i.e, use a flat head screwdriver, push the locking mechanism in and see if it locks, then your problem is with the u-shaped striker bar on the window itself. unscrew the two screws holding the shroud on the window in place, and you will see two hex nuts holding the striker. loosen them and move the striker as far forward as you can, then retighten. (with the window up, you be moving the striker down, so that it will go further into the locking mechanism. if you take the nuts off entirely, you will see that the nuts go through two square holes that provide for the ability to slide the striker down so that it goes further into the latch. nuff said.
