Help needed !!!

I have a mini van with sliding windows which some of the catch/lock is broken .

I was wondering if there is another catch/lock which fits ?? Which can buy new. (don't like the original any way)

Arc angels do a carbon fibre street wise door anyone know what catch/lock they use been e mailing them but got no reply !!!

Would anyone want a set if I had some made up ???

Thanks for any help you may give .

Thanks,

Still might get some made up from ally if they work out not too expensive.

Might see if any one else wound be interested in a set as would bring the cost down

Cut a piece of thin bar and drop it in the channel on the inside, so that it stops the front window coming back, but has a tab to fit round the rear catch to stop the rear window coming forward.

A well known accessory in the 60s..

This sounds interesting Mark.... Got any pics???

I'm in the process (10 year long process) of restoring my van at the moment.

Would be great to see another on here.

Are you on any other forums?

I'm just about to update my thread with progress over the weekend.

Have a look.
