Sliding Rear window latch

Sliding Rear window latch
Hey all - Looking for any tips on replacing the sliding rear window latch. Wanted to see if anyone had put something stronger on. I think if I put the same latch on that it'll just break again.
Thanks for the input.

my latch breaks becuase i use it to open and close the windows. I dont remember where i bought them but i found some llittle handles with suction cups on them and i use them to open the window now. highly recommend something like that. it'll prolong the life of your latch

how much did you all pay for yours from the dealer? I paid 16 and some change. for a cheap piece of plastic i would have guessed to be about $1.50

idk why they use this crappy design my old 88 Ram50 had a metal latch that worked great. I don't know why in the world they would get rid of that.

Thanks for all the input - the suction cup handle idea sounds cool.
Went to Oreilly's this morning and bought the latch kit for $6. I figure for $6 it can break every year and it won't hurt me.
Other than being annoyed that it broke in the first place what an easy fix.
If I ever figure out how to add a signature - I'm placing it under my mods - "aftermarket sliding window latch kit - at least 15HP"
