TAB320 Push our window stays replacement?

Maple_Geek

I don't know if this has been asked before but I'm pretty sure I've seen similar acrylic windows as the ones we have on our 2022 TAB320 but instead of having a plastic locking mechanism that holds them open, they stay open when you push them out. And when you want to close them, you just pull them in. Some sort of friction arm mechanism.
I love our windows, but having to lock them every time is a bit annoying...I know this is minor in the grand scheme of things, but if there is a way to replace the stays I wouldn't mind looking into it.

Thanks in advance

I know what you mean.  I find the thumb screw tighteners on my T@B 400 very painful and slow to loosen and tighten. I know Arctic Tern is one manufacturer of the acrylic double-paned windows.  They make a different style of support with extension tighteners but I don't know if it would work with our windows.  The other style I've seen has set extension lengths (maybe three) that you move through.  They seem much faster to extend and retract.

I lube window fasteners twice a year with Boeing 303 along with window seals. I clean struts and use dry lube as well as window strings. Agree, they are a pain. Especially, the star gazer. I would not order the star gazer window if it was an option. Nucamp seems to have trouble fitting them correctly.

I have a 2013 T@B and that's how my windows work. Unfortunately I store the trailer too far away to be able to get a photo or part number for you.
