Drivers Window Won’t Stay Open

[jdomke1]

I just bought this motor home and it looks like something is missing on the drivers window to keep it open. My passenger window has some rubber strap to keep it up, not that I can get it up. Passenger side seems permanently stuck. The lock moves easily but the window won’t go up.
On the drivers side I can see where that strap was. I see the screw with something still there but I think it’s broke off.
Any help finding this part would be appreciated. I don’t know what to call it so I can buy one. Thanks.
My first post. Yay.

Make/Year/Model of MH?
Picture may also help cuz I have no idea re: "My passenger window has some rubber strap to keep it up:

Class Cs have standard car/truck windows.
Most Class As have front to back sliding windows.

Weird since I created a signature showing 2005 Thor Hurricane 32R. The window slides up/down. The rubber strap seems to keep it up. I’ll grab a picture later when I get back out there.

OK, so from this picture it appears the lower half of the rear part of the window slides up in your RV and you are saying it should be held up by a strap but you don't have one on the driver's side?

This is how both sides look

No clue what that's called. If the passenger window won't open move it over to the driver's side.

While you have it removed take a couple of pictures of it and do a Google image search.

If unsuccessful, do Google searches for a description of its use and look at the image results for possible matches.

I suspect the part will not be available even if you could name it so then you need to put your engineering and fabricating hats on to create a solution to hold the window up.

I had the same thought. My son got the passenger one open. I just need him to share the magic.

Here are some pics of the good latch

Is that rubber or plastic? If plastic it might be a good candidate for a 3D printed replacement part.

EDIT: Found it!

Atwood part # DH343-CK

Unforunately, nobody seems to have it in stock.

True. It’s a semi rigid plastic
