Sliding window handle lock frame came off
The handle where the lock is attached keeps coming off the large sliding window above dinette. It is difficult getting pressed all the way back on the window. Does anyone know the secret to get this...

We're you able to fix this yourself? And if so, how?
I have the same problem on a window that slides up. So right now I have the glass wedged as far back into the handle that I can get it. It's able to lock, I just don't open it for fear that the glass will slip back out and break...
Hoping someone might have some advice on how to slip the rubber "sleeve" and glass back in the track on the handle...
I rebuilt a fogged up window that slides up. It had a lock on the horizontal bar on the top of the window. It was put on with a rubber gasket between the metal "U" shaped bar and the window. It was very difficult to remove, and I had to use heat and knives to get it off. When I began reassembly, there was no way that "U" shaped bar was going back on that window with the rubber gasket in place. I left the rubber gasket off, cleaned the metal of the "U" shaped bar and the window well, and used the same sealant that I used around the window spacer as a glue to hold the "U" shaped bar in place. It's held up for two years and is still strong. The sealant is CRL Black Silicone Foam and Metal Spacer I.G.Sealant. It can be purchased from the link below:

I hope this works for you.
