I tried those not as good as originals

Volunteers?
 

It has taken a bit of hunting to track down a reasonable way to print these in plastic. By far the best thing would be to get the original injection molded part but I haven't been able to find them either.

So who is gonna be the guinea pig and let us all know if this works? :eek:
I found a place online that will print them. You will need the .STP file for the latch in my earlier post - this site won't let me upload it ('invalid file type') so PM me with your email address and I will send it.

I found a place online that will print them:
https://www.shapeways.com/
Make yourself an account there.
Upload the .STP file - dimensions are in mm. I got frustrated and added the text 'v0' to the file name and pressed 'Update' and the image showed up.
I think they will pick the best orientation for printing automatically but that may require some experimentation.
Choose material - 'Strong and Flexible' it is Nylon 12 - I hope thats a good choice.:D
It looks like these are $5.13 each

I will be the guinea pig. I just placed an order for 25 of them on the website you found. Thanks for making the layout for these! Will keep you posted when they arrive.

need some help on this topic. I attempted to remove one of my 4 broken latches yesterday with a socket on the nut holding what was left of a latch. The entire bolt was freely spinning and therefore could not get the nut off. What is the trick here? I attempted to use a flat head screw driver to put some pressure on the bolt at a angle but was hesitant about pressure so as not to break the glass.....can I get a little help????

Try squeezing nut tightly with vise grip and drilling center of bolt head with drill diameter of the thread. Head should then fall off. Use good quality drilll bit

Well, since I have taken apart several this month I can tell you exactly how but you will not like the answer..... glass has to come out as it is a flat head philips that enters from the glass side under the gummy weather seal.

I told you that you wouldn't like the answer.

For me opening the windows is pointless as the center hits my top frame so when mine go back on the will be screwed and glued shut forever.

Just got the window latches ,back from printers ,thanks Mitch (flexpat)wiil try tonight

I wanted blue but not that blue

Kinda bright - should be able to find them in the dark - I did not include capability for installing an 'off' switch ;)
Wonder what they will fade to?

They work great , color is growing on me
