Window latch

[Hunterb]

Hi all,

I have a 1993 Prostar 205. The two latches that hold the walk through window closed are broken. I thought it would be relatively simple to find a replacement but it is proving to be impossible. Does anyone know where I can find these?

Thanks Bigmac,

I ordered them from West Marine.

I just found generic replacements at the local marine store. The only difference is they don't have the "U" shape.

Thanks bigmac, thats a great find. Any chance you might know which hinges fit the cooler / glove compartment on a 205?

[bigmac]

Sorry, no. The latches are pretty universal to Taylor windshields, which is just about the only game in town in the boat glass biz, so that was easy compared to the wide variety of glove box styles out there.
