Is there a "how to" or can anyone out there tell me how to tighten up the quarter vent latch? Any help would be much appreciated.

It's worn out, you may need to replace the whole 1/4 window assembely.

The Handle is made from zinc based diecast and is fairly soft compared to the pivot pin it is attached to, This often destroys the inside of the handle, However they sometimes can be repaired by putting a slightly larger brass pin in the handle and replacing the spring inside, It can be difficult to remove the existing brass pin, You will find the pin I am talking about is located on the bottom side of the handle
