Sliding window

[Neil T]

Hello everyone , would anyone have the little alley sliding window locks both mine are missing the hinge bit that I imagine drop’s behind the window when closed. Or any suggestions what else to use ??

Ooh that sounds like another hen’s tooth part. I’m sure someone will point you in the right direction. Have you asked Martin?

 

[Neil T]

Martin not got any, could anyone post a picture of one so I know what’s missing I might be able to make something to fit on the bit that’s still on

Are they Auto-Sleeper windows? if they are I'll clamber in the back of Harvey and take some pics.

 

[Neil T]

I’ve no idea can you tell from the picture ?

 

[Panky]

Ah no not an Auto-Sleeper, but It might be something similar. Forgot today sorry so will hopefully remember tomorrow.

 

[Neil T]

This is all that’s left on both sides !.

Our VW van has them.

Online search "flip-over window catch". Loads of online sellers at about £6 plus P&P

That looks like the one

Brill thanks very much looks like they will do nicely

Oh, and a couple of tips for using them. Fit them at the TOP of the window, that way they default to the locked position instead of falling open. And use a small bulldog clip to secure in the locked position to make them much more secure against thieves using a bit of wire to poke them open.

Ok and thank you for your help
