There has been an active discussion in the swap meet about window latches.. so I will start here and reply about where to find the fittings to attach the latches to the glass.

For replacements for the window buttons -- I ordered them from JimK some time back -- one of those projects where I now have the parts but have not made the time to complete.
The originals were white -- the new are black and Jim says UV resistant. Not sure about the price that shows on the listing -- I don't remember being too shocked by the price.

More on window latches --

Here is a photo of an original and one new replacement window latch -- for my 73. As I understand -- all coaches, all years used this same latch for the cockpit sliding windows.

The hardest part for me to locate was the retainer that attached to the window frame.
