As far as I could figure it out, the thumb screws just increased the friction on the windows, making them harder to slide. They did not physically restrict the opening of the windows. I tried to install them on my Coupe, but the friction part was missing and the thumb screws didn't even get close to the plastic. Larry ----- Original Message ----- From: Roy D.

We use a "clip" with a short (4 in) chain attached to the window handles. This prevents the windows from opening more than 3-4 in. The clip and chain are such that in an emergency they can be "pulled" off with a minimum of force.

Turn the thumbscrew clockwise to tighten, counter clockwise to loosen. If your thumbscrews are missing you can get new ones from Univair.

It seems I flew in a coupe years back that had something like that. My original one does not hold and the windows "drift" down. I am sure this is not an uncommon problem, I just do not know how to correct it.
