The trick is to use a 90º flat blade screw driver to unscrew the retaining
screw underneath.
Take a look at the  underside of  the latch and you should see a hole. The
screw is up inside that hole. Once you remove the screw the latch should
lift straight up to reaveal the two screws that pass through the window. Be
careful tightening these as they are made of white metal and are easy to
strip out.
