Window latching mechanism 05 era - rundlc - 03-26-2024

         Hey guru's do any of you have these tabs on your windows?? Newell told me they were used for latching the windows down while traveling. I've never seen the entire mechanism personally.

        Well I tried very hard to get the original latches that came with the coach. The Mfr. SE-GI was the supplier, There's a distributor 90 minutes from my home and after a few weeks of of phone tag nothing, that's exactly what I ended up with NOTHING. No longer available. Sooooo I started trying to figure out what I could use as an alternative while driving. I purchased some suction cups for glass but they just kept falling off. I then found a heavy duty pair used for attaching cameras or tents to the side of a car.  I decided to use two for each window at the galley an boy the seem to work great.

I will have to use one and some zip ties to an eye bolt on the back of the upholstered panel for the dinette.  It's not the best solution but it's what I've come up with to keep the darn windows from flapping in high winds.
