Success! I had the same issue. Got the replacement latches. 580215 Window slide latch black top mount for 8800 series.
At the center of the window, I dremeled out the small ribs that form the channel the latches slide in. I did a section in the middle of the window the same length as one of the latches. Did both the lower and upper ribs. Removed the screws that hold the springs on the latches. Slid the latches over and out through the section I opened. Put the spring from the old latch into the new, replaced them into the channel and slid to the end and replaced the crews. Thought I would have to devise some method to compress the springs for the screws but they work just fine as is.
So glad I didn’t have to remove the entire window!

resurrecting an older post - where did you get the window latches from? I looked at lippert and didn't find them. They don't recognize 580215 for the latch.
I've got one window that needs the latches replaced.Steve & Tami Cass - Escapee's, FMCA Members, Texas Fulltimers Since July 2020

I contacted Grand Design Customer Service. Mine is out of warranty so had to go through Retail Parts. They were less than $5 each. I only needed to replace two but ordered two spares as well.

So glad to hear this worked for you! Thanks much for the feedback. We attended the National Rally this past week and I had latch replacement on our list of repairs. In my case the latch was not broken off, just bent and most likely weakened. Lippert had one of their window guys to our trailer to review the problem, and he confirmed that the window would need to be removed if I wanted the latch repaired. To be honest, I think that they would have replaced the window (at no cost!) if I wanted, but I opted to just leave it as is until the latch actually breaks. I mentioned the idea of using a dremel to the tech and he also though it would work fine. After we decided to leave things as is, he dug through his tool bag and gave me a touch up marker for the black paint when I do decide to dremel it. Truely a standup company.

Before putting the screws back in, raise the window and push the latches as far into the holding notches into the frame as they will go. Then put the screws in. The notches where the window is closed don’t seem to be as easy to push into as upper ones on mine.
