Put the new bolt in and while I was at it, I checked the other 3 bolts. 2 of the other 3 were also loose. Oops! Tightened them back up, topped off the gear oil in the trans, and took the truck for a test drive. Everything seems to be ok. In the past couple weeks, I have removed a bunch of rattling and vibrations that I didn't realize were not supposed to be there. Definitely could have had worse outcomes!
After that, I decided to finish up removing the old seals from the extra set of vent windows I picked up a couple of months ago. That was a pain to do because the rubber was so dried up that it just broke apart. I basically had to dig out what was left with a screwdriver. Got it all out eventually and made a big mess
I'll be taking the two sets that I have, pick out the best parts from the two, and put the new seals in. New seals should make the wind noise go down a bunch which means it will be nicer to drive
