Here you can see that the end of it sticks out about 1/4". That means I'll have to make my sliding board accordingly to miss the end of the latch.
I looked at possibly cutting off the end of the latch, but it looks like it will be very difficult to open and close if I do that. So, my best bet is to leave the latches alone, and modify the sliding board.
This will be a wonderful place to use a version of the above slide mechanism to hold the board from moving around when opening and closing the window cover.
See - there really is a method to my madness... Lol..
