Need latch for bunk windows

[mattyj858]

Does anyone have an easy resource for a replacement latch for the small bunk Windows ( I believe they are called a vertical latch). I have a 73 Brave D20. One window is flapping in the wind. I looked on Camping World and didn't see.


Thanks

Other than a junk yard, you're not likely going to find it.  Try Sands RV in Ohio though, they have tons of hard to find parts for vintage RVs.


If you can't find a direct replacement, you may need to do what so many of us do... use creative alternatives.

Bummer...... The wife won't accept a zip tie to close it . I'll try sands, thanks!

And they are closed for the winter... D:oH!

ahhh.... I forgot about that.  There's a link on the right side-bar for RV salvage yards.  Also, you can try our member, RangerRick.  He has a lot of vintage, salvage items.

I'm not sure what the latch looks like, but there are vertical latches on page 138 of the Winnebago Catalog.

Thanks everyone. Rick I will send a picture when I get my Brave back from the shop, two cracked exhaust manifolds and an entire exhaust system 😳


If it helps the window is the small bunk Windows over the driver and passenger side just a over the pull down bunk. I need the latch that opens and closes the little window, I believe it's called a vertical latch.

Found a really cool guy who was parting one out. Picked up the latch, passenger windshield, complete entry door, generator door, Another vented door, battery door, rear storage door, both mirrors and various small stuff for $160. Nice score and worth the 2 hour drive.


Thanks

Talking about the gaskets? If so in good shape, hope I can reuse. The passenger side windshield is in the frame ( cut in half)
