Duramaxer - 2017-09-01 2:45 AM So, how do we know the riveted latch was the factory original? Please post pictures of a latch rivited to original glass anywhere on Your coach. Original glass was marked with year of manufacture, plase inculde in picture(s). Stay cool! Kjetil #477
Based on what I see on my coach (#621), I would say rivets are original. Out of 8 sliding windows, 6 of mine have the original glass with rivets. The 2 remaining windows have been replaced and do not have rivets. One I just replaced (pass rear), the other I have to assume was replaced as it is not riveted (driver door). Here is the tempering logo on my driver's rear slider showing 1975 as the tempering date: http://www.fmcowners.com/mbbs22/photos/show-album.asp?albumid=174&photoid=4750
Here is the riveted latch from the same window: http://www.fmcowners.com/mbbs22/photos/show-album.asp?albumid=174&photoid=4751
I checked each window to match up the tempering logo and the rivets. They all match up on the original glass. Darren
