My Albin 36 DC has a forward center window that can be held open with a sliding device on a fixed tube and held in place with a screw. My tube is made of thin-wall stainless and will warp/bend over time from using the holding screw making it practically impossible to open or close. I’ve twice had a machine shop do the best they can to true it up but it is not a permanent fix.
Has anyone else had this problem or have any options or fixes?

Re: Front window support.
Can you post a picture? Our 28 had a pair of stainless arms with set screws that would keep the big center window open through most anything.
The 35 has the same setup, but I can't get the window open. Honestly, I doubt it has EVER been opened! (AC is great!)
