must be a washington term. if you're worried about them breaking the window, why not leave it unlocked? i fish at a lot of remote spots in florida, and if the bandits want in, their going to break in. i leave my doors unlocked, since there's nothing of value inside. have they ever been inside? i don't know, but i did have a window broken once before, even though nothing of value was inside. i learned that lesson, the hard way. that being said, i've never seen anything that's just a window screen. headache bars are great, but probably won't work with your topper/shell/cap/canopy. expanded metal could be cut into a window shape, and have a frame added, then bolt it to the front of the cap/topper/shell/canopy. this would likely result in your truck side window being broken out, if a thief really wants in.

i use an ultra club, when my cars are parked. this helps keep the amateurs away from the idea of stealing them. you can also get a cool lock that goes from the brake pedal to the steering wheel. making it harder for them, will usually make them look for an easier mark. a hidden kill switch is also something to consider.

even if you secure the back window, you still have side windows. kill switch, and/or shut off valve in the fuel line, makes it harder to get away, if they get in.

when you get the latch fixed get some 1/4" dowels and put 2 lengths in the slots.
