Hello everyone.
I am missing one of the screw-knobs that hold open the forward window (TomCat 255).
I wrote the factory about purchasing a replacement, but never heard back.
Does anyone here know who makes this window? If so, I'll try to get it from them directly.

Mike-
I believe Diamond Sea Glaze makes all the C-Dory windows and related products.
I also believe we have discussed some modifications here that involve drilling a hole or set of holes in the struts to allow a clevis pin to be used in addition to the knob to make the window strut more sturdy and slip-free.
Joe.

Take the remaining knob to a GOOD hardware store. Lowes, Home Despot, or any one that has all the miscellaneous hardware in those little slide out trays. You can find most anything there!

Joe, thank you for the tip on DSG.
I emailed their sales manager today and... he wrote back! Not only that, he provided the part number, price, and said to give them a call to order it. Wow!
I am really impressed. Their sales manager took the time to reply to a end-user who is looking for an $6 part!
Customer service like this is so rare today. It's good to know that companies like this still exist.
