HA! -I've always been wary of the flimsy side window-locks as they are dead easy to open from outside
even if clicked into "locked" position.I took on my thinking-cap and made up two locking-parts from scrap-alu profiles I had laying around,they lock the sliding-glass very effectively and its not poss. to open from
outside by lifting/tilting glass anymore .Best part? if I hadn't told you it was there you wouldn't have noticed it....

-I will sell these at a premium price in Thenay -Naw,just kidding.. if someone is interrested I'll happily
show how easily it was done.. well-I'm feeling a bit safer but remember not to have all your gear on open
display in car overnight when travelling.. -Reid.

Since I covered mine in shrink-tubing(?) I've even made up a demo-thing to show up every detail..Talk about anal! -Reid.

Hi petak,better I'd try to take som pictures later,as it's more complicated to explain than to actually make it.
Basically it's a profile-piece of old curtain-hanger alu-rail that I knocked into a A-shape for strength,then bent
it to fit along lower part of window ending in a bend that follows profile up a bit of front window-frame to lock
and hold glass in locked position.
rear-end of it cut and filed so it fits front lower end of sliding window plus against the locking.knob (Uh-all on
inside ofcourse!)

Sounds more complicated than actually is, but real easy to do and works as should -Reid.
