This might be missing or worn beyond usefulness. If you cannot find nor replicate a replacement, remove the sliding latch and waste away a little of its material at the end of its recess which strikes the tee fitting attached to the window whenever the latch is in the locked position. Hell, that even confused me! Just get the latch body in your hands and remove whatever material you have to get it to ride higher. George |
