Re: Vent window lock broken
I ordered the bronze and they've quoted 4-5 weeks for delivery so Kai must be patient...

Re: Vent window lock broken
I am one of the first metal latch adopters and I love them. Put them in my DA40 (where I assume the current owner is still enjoying them) and it was the first modification I made to the DA42 when it arrived.

Re: Vent window lock broken
I ordered two of the bronzed metal. They installed really easily and fit the same. Don’t know what else I could say except they’re not broken.
Also ordered two of the white plastic as backups that I will probably never need now. Perhaps another Diamond owner with broken latches will wander over to my hangar to inquire about them one day.

Re: Vent window lock broken
Mike,
thanks for the update. Would you mind posting a picture of the bronzed metal latches? I am curious how they turned out

Re: Vent window lock broken
Bronzed sound so nice I might replace mine.
