Subject: floppy vent window

So its been fairly hot lately and Ive been noticing that the triangle
windows ... [are floppy]
=snip=

Hi Dave,

I have had the same problem, particularly on an earlier Westy I owned.  I finally
took the door apart and found a small tension adjustment screw just below
the lower pivot hinge.  Unfortunately, to get at the screw head the entire window
assembly would have had to have been removed, a job I was not ready to
undertake.  I'm not sure whether someone had removed it earlier and
reinstalled it backwards or whether it was just so poorly designed.  I have
not looked at another one since that time.  Good luck.
