removing latch from T@B400 window (not from window frame)

jimcenname

I'd like to remove the window latch from the windows on my 400. I see screws to loosen but I am concerned that the plastic part the screw goes into, the part that is inside the two panes will fall away when I take both screws out. Does anyone have experience removing the latch screws?

I have exactly the same question. I want to take the latch off to put some graphite lubricant into it
