Installed some Altman latches. I’m guessing I spent about 6 or 7 hours on these, but that included quite a bit of time with the driver side lock to get it to work properly with the key (after locking, returning the key to vertical to remove it from the door would unlock it).

I went ahead and installed the Honda civic seals, too. I had to remove about 2” from the civics to make them work. There’s another thread here that says so no cutting is required, but not for me. No big deal, I’m glad they were too long rather than too short. Picture shows the cross-section of the seal I removed (right side of pic) vs the Honda seal (left). I haven’t noticed any difference in cab noise.

No more slamming. Everything works just like I was hoping it would and both the latches and seals made a difference.

I should’ve taken the time to paint all the screws before assembly… another rainy-day project for the future, along with some seam sealer to clean up the edges.
