    Vertical sliding window latches broken

    Hello all,
    I'm am sure there is a post in here (or several) that address the vertical slide window latches breaking.
    I have not been able to find the solution. It does not seem possible to "just" remove the sliding window nor does it seem possible to remove the plastic spring loaded latches from said sliding window...
    Spoke with the dealer yesterday. No solution was offered. (as I figured)
    Is there a solution? Surely this issue is not new. Any suggestion appreciated!
    Thank you.

    Same boat here. We've got 5 or 6 broken latches on various windows in our 2018 Reflection. I got a bunch of replacements from LCI, but the agent I spoke with didn't know anything about HOW to do the replacement. I've searched the web, YouTube, and this forum; but I'm ending up in the same place you are. Perhaps someone will see this fresh posting and weigh in.

    If not, the next best thing would be a call to LCI's windows/doors customer support. They tend to be very helpful, if you get to the right person. I believe these are "8800 Series" windows. I'm planning on trying to call them myself next week, when I've got the time. If I learn anything, I'll post back here, and I request anyone else with info to do the same.

    Thanks!

    Yeah, Thanks for your reply.... I'm seriously perplexed about this... It just can't be rocket science!

    Just got off the phone with LCI Windows/Doors customer support. I got lucky this time and found someone that had instructions, which I'm attaching here. Fingers crossed the attachment works. Hopefully, this will help anyone else with this issue going forward.

    Great. Thanks for the post. We also have a broken latch and I was wondering if it was possible to replace it. My next question is where to purchase replacement latches? Do you have a Lippert part number you can provide?

    Great post! This information would make for a great DIY or General Tech section post sticky.

    Great info
    I wonder if this same procedure of removing the window would work on the horizontal sliding windows?

    The P/N I got was 235039....BUT, the LCI rep had these listed as being for an 8400 series. Based on shape and dimensions, they look to be the correct part, but I've not yet installed one, so no guarantees.

    Thank you for this. It is exactly as I thought it would be. The window looks like it must be removed from the coach to disassemble as per instructions. I appreciate your information! Thank you.
