I recently purchased a Submariner online (from a reputable dealer).

The papers say the original purchase was in 2004.

Does this model have glidelock? I added a link but now it is SLIGHTLY too loose on my wrist. I cannot, for the life of me figure out glidelock, seems like this one does not have it.

How can i adjust it to make it a bit tighter.

Thanks!

If it doesn't have a ceramic bezel, it won't have a glidelock.

What is the model number

No, it does not have a Glidelock clasp if it is a circa 2004 Submariner. My rule: never buy a watch except in person. But that's me.

You can adjust it by moving the springbar in the clasp.

It is model 16613 - i need to make it looser (but less than adding another link).

What can i do besides taking it to a shop? Is there a tool i can buy to make it less than 1/4in looser?

You only need a needle/toothpick to adjust the springbar inside the clasp. If you want to adjust the number of links you have you will need a 1-1.2mm flat head screwdriver.
