Back side window help

Is there anything I can do with the back most windows that pop out to secure them better that would fall within the rules and be legal in stock class ?

They have a single pivot point on the back to pop out for extra air flow. I am haveing a little problem with them bounceing from top to bottom and don't feel like replacing them anytime soon.LOL They do this on just 100 watts, can imagine what they will do on alot more power.

Here is a side shot of the van. The back most windows are the prob.

on the back window of my nissan pathfinder - I used some of that 1" weatherstripping and went around the outside of the OEM weatherstripping. I made two layers thick and this helped SOME with the vibration and air leaks. Its not perfect but it DOES work.....and I think its legal. No one ever complained about it on the Pathfinder - but in the classes I ran - no one EVER complained about ANYTHING.

Just a thought.

Thought about it sam. I have some rubberized weather stripping I thought of running around the old seal and shutting the windows, but not sure if that is legal. As far as them not opening again after this is done.LOL

Why not make a pod over it and dynamat the pod. If and only if U are not going to use the back glass.

Wouldn't that be a mod ? Which would throw me in a higher class.

It's the side window we are talking about right. I don't think it would be part of the build. I could be wrong,I need to read my rules.
