I have a Cherokee Signature Series with the Dream Catcher LQ. The windows are the Jalousie style. The large window over the sofa has a broken latch. When you turn the handle there are little cranks that push the lower window louver out. The little wheels that sit in the louver track are broken. Does anyone have any experience in replacing the latch? I have talked to Cherokee and they wanted me to buy a whole new window. I didnt even bother to price it. Two screws hold the latch into the window. Seems to me like you should be able to buy just the latch and replace the broken arms/wheels. Cherokee says they buy the windows pre-fab and just install them. There is no manufacturer on the windows but surely you can buy just parts for them. Anyone have any ideas or experience?

Here is the company that makes the windows. The window broke in our Cherokee and just bought a new one. You may be able to by the part you need from them.

Thank you so much guys. Gard I had searched online and found one of the places you sent a link for that looked promising. I am off work Monday so going to check with the place that makes the windows Cherokee uses. I really hate not being able to open the big window as sometimes I wouldnt need the AC if I could get some airflow.
This is a GREAT forum.
