Channel locks worked! :waytogo:

So @donmateo....to get the pin out use a small punch and hammer. Be careful to not miss and hit the glass though lol to get it back in start the pin on the work bench. Once on the truck go the rest of the way with it either via light hammer tapping or channel locks which is what I used. A second set of hands may be handy to hold the latch on while you get the pin all the way in :)

Awesome! Thank you! Hopefully this kills the wind noise and stops the great floods. lol :cheers:

I just ordered my tank brackets, so once those are painted and installed I'll probably get this.
