Jack, Make sure there is a small aluminum plate (about 3/8 inch by 1 inch) under the thumbscrews glued to the window track. This way the thumbscrew presses the plate against the window and provides more friction.

I've replace the seals on my windows with self lubricating nylon. Done this so the windows would open easier. (Was so hard to open that I could not open them in flight). Now they open to easy. The orginal thumb screws work, to some degree, but not real good. Some type of mod for this appears to be the best answer. I need to be able to place a small amout of pressure on the glass. This would allow me to set the windows where I want them and then tighten down the screws. However the screew won't go in enough to put pressure on the window.
