Wing window lever
Does anyone know if there's a way to tighten up the wing window lever on a 90 XJ?
The drivers side is nice and snug when latched but, the passenger side has about a 1/4 to 5/16 inch gap.
I did a forum search and nothing came up. I haven't messed with it yet because I didn't want to risk damaging something without knowing what to adjust.

Just did mine again earlier due to someone prying on it, trying to break in my XJ.
On the inside, on the handle, you'll see a small sleeve pin. Remove it, the handle will come off. Mind the handle, there is a small spring inside you don't want to lose.
After removing handle, you'll see the stem the handle slides on. In center of that stem is a screw. Tighten down screw, add some Loctite if you wish prior.
Slide handle back on stem, adjust it's swing accordingly, and press the pin back into place.
I used a small punch to push pin out with help of needle nose pliers. Philips screwdriver for screw. And channel locks to press pin back into place.
5-10 minutes, your good to go
