Center window of windshield missing the latch, 27 FC

Hello, Does anyone have a photo of, or a part number for, the latch at the bottom of the center windshield of an Albin 27 FC? Thank you, Jon

What year? Usually it's best to leave it open a bit so it drips outside. Mine leaks no matter where it's positioned. I have tupaware lids in it. I'm going to seal it up. I've gotten vent hatches for the roof

I agree with Chris. We also have an '84 27FC, and the center window is always open about 1/2" (it doesn't leak). There is no bottom latch, but rather side latches that just tighten down with a screw-handle.

Hi, Okay, thank you. Based on screw holes in the frame, there was something attached to the bottom of the window. Thank you. Jon
