No fuss. The first click on the ratchet is still too wide, simple solution.

Mine has two positions on the catch.
OR
Cut cane to required length, leaving window just ajar and place in lower slide slot on hab sliding windows.

I had same windows in my C'van and we just swiveled the latches around to lock position with windows open and let it rest against stop, thus leaving vent gap..

Ahh!!!But
How do you prevent the windows blowing Open???

 

[The Old Man]

Same windows, mine can lock 'just' open.

On the window is the catch used for locking by swivelling through 90 Degrees.

On the Window Frame is the location catch, it has two settings.

The first is when the window is closed and the locked as usual.

Hard to see in the photo but there is a slot between the two screw heads. The Locking Lug will close into this gap. This leaves the smallest gap between the Window Seal, locks the Window in place leaving it safe to drive, resists strong winds and thief proof.

I've just bought four of these. I'll let you know how they fare in practice when we're next away.

If the wind is strong enough to blow the window open I would use the built-in latch to hold the window open just a touch.

Mine has the same, but if you want the window open just a touch more my method allows an intermediate between barely cracked and first click. I would never drive with the window even slightly open.

I agree, closed for driving.

I have driven on very hot days with my sliding windows on the first click.
This leaves a gap of about a centimetre.
Never had a problem.

I’ve bent some metal stay, we use it to stop wind lifting open window, also on the back of our Hymer the bike rack stops the stay from reaching first position, so I took stays off and just use my bodge metal

I still haven’t swapped mine out, but I will.

Stupid Window Stays

Sat on the loo, if you crack the window a little, (sometimes I have to) the only way to close it, is to open it fully and operate those stupid little clicks, and hope that it lets you close it. I have to lift mine to fully open like a gull wing door to be able to close it. Which can be a...
