Sliding Window Catch Aftermarket?

[dajg]

Hi,

I need several window catches for 110 (3 door)

Part number MWC7648 and MWC7625

These seem ridiculously expensive at $90 each. Does anyone have a workaround or alternative / aftermarket suggestion?

Do you need the entire catch, or is the square bit just snapped off? I replaced the plastic square bit in my back window catch with metal years ago, cost me nothing and hasn't broken like the plastic one used to do.

It was so long ago, I do recall having to make something to fit, might have been just a matter of filing down some key steel or similar. If someone wanted something for the job now I could machine something easily enough, would just need the dimensions. I think it was just a matter of making a bit of rectangular rod the right size and screwing the thumb bit to it.
