I'm looking for the little plastic latches that goes on a tip-out window you seen on lots of cars, RV's, etc...<br /><br />You know the kind.. they tip the window out slightly and then lock back into place. <br />They typically mount either at the bottom of the window or side.<br /><br />What is the official name of those? :confused: <br /><br /><br />I can't find them anywhere!<br /><br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />H.

Offset latches (sort of like offset gate hinges) come in various offset 'degrees'......I think.<br /><br />Aldo

That would be my last resort Calico... <br /><br />I'm just curious what they are called.<br />It's not often I get stummped like this!<br /><br />H.

I've tried all combinations I could think of and come up with nothing.<br /><br />I was hoping someone on here works in an autobody shop (or similar) that could come up with a name.<br /><br />Thanks again,<br /><br />H.

Ok Homerr<br />Figured when no one came up with a name Id just look at my van repair book... Hmmm doest address them... owners manual... same thing.. looked at van.. ACK they slide! :) <br />MrsLink has a 3 door Suzuki and her side windows have a latch that opens them out to the rear. Neither book refers to them at all :confused:
