Rear Picture Window

[dandt]

On our recent move we had the latch break that opens and closes the bottom 2 foot window. Have a new latch ordered but we removed the window to remove the pop revits to get ready for install and now we can not get the window to go into proper install on the rail. Anyone else have to deal with this issue yet. These are the frameless windows.

Had the exact same problem couple of weeks ago. Got a new handle that was wrong. Had to do some modifying and got it to work. But also had the window come out also. Took a while and found out that the two little rubber squares on the end of the top part of the window was stopping the window from fitting in properly. I noticed that the window on the other side did not have them on since that window was replaced last year. I did away with the little rubber square and the window went in. I have not had any problems with it since, its been fine. But you have to get it at just the right angle. Hope this helps.

When mine broke, over a year ago, I drilled two small holes in the bottom frame work. This enabled me to use a plastic tie to secure the window in a closed position.

My thinking was that the replacement handle would probably be another cheap junk aluminum one that would also break. Having the holes there I can just keep a plastic tie in place if I want to, just in case. After waiting for a year for the replacement handle I wasn't disappointed, it was another cheap aluminum one that will probably break quickly.

When our red handled lever broke last spring on the emergency escape sticker side (you know, behind the ladder) I drilled out the rivets and used the sides of a bicycle chain link as shackles with very small bolts to reconnect.
