Arctic cab rear sliding window
This one has me puzzled. Does anyone know what kind of latch/hook etc is supposed to be fitted to the rear sliding window of
the arctic cab to stop it sliding around when I go round corners ?
Maybe its supposed to be a friction fit but I aint sure .
Anybody out there any ideas?
Cheers

No latch on mine and no sign there ever was one.

I think that, like most sliding windows, they were a friction fit. Those weather strips do tend to lose their grip a little after the first 50 years or so.

Re: Arctic cab rear sliding window
Friction fit only on mine. No latch or detent stops. If yours is sliding around you just need new
weather stripping to fix the problem. Or you could just slow down around those curves.

Re: Arctic cab rear sliding window
If your driving so fast around corners, how about using OD 100 MPH tape to keep it closed?

haha, its not the speed round the corner that does it, its the sharpness of the corner. We dont have straight roads in ScotlandT. Highway wrote:If your driving so fast around corners, how about using OD 100 MPH tape to keep it closed?

Re: Arctic cab rear sliding window
No latch on mine. I think one of the jack stands would have to fall over for it try and slide much.

I believe scotch locks or maybe some scotch tape might be in order ! Sorry I just couldn't resist that.

Speaking of Scotch, maybe with a few hits of single malt you wouldn't notice or even care if the artic cab window
slides around.
