I bet this is on a '71 squareback that has the popout
openings in the window frame.  The difference between
the '71 openings and the <70' openings is there is no
extra metal tab in the body of the car.  This tab
effectively decreases the size of the popout opening
and provides a rudimentary hinge effect for the tabs
on the popout window.

No amount of electrical tape will solve this.  A piece
of metal needs to be welded in this spot.
