There are several different types of traditional window stays which lock in position in different ways, fix to the window differently and are available in different sizes. To ensure you get the correct replacements check what type of stay the customer is replacing.
Tube type windows stays are made with smooth round aluminium tube. They can be set to any length and have a tightening screw on one side to fix the length of the stay and keep the window open.
The arms on Auto stays are not round, they will have one flat side with notches on. These notches allow the arm to stop and stay extended automatically keeping the window open at that position.
All traditional window stays are screwed to the window frame on the caravan. However, they are fixed to the window in different ways. You need to check how the stay is fixed to the window pane and make sure to supply a matching type or it won't fit.
The end of the stay which fixes to the window is screwed directly to the plastic window pane.
There is a small plastic bracket glued / bonded to the plastic window pane and the end of the stay slides on to this bracket.
Some window stays have a lever on the end to lock the window closed. Check if the old stay had a lever ont he stay.
Lever Lock stays have a lever at one end to lock the window closed.
Perma-fix just means that the stay doesn't have a lever on the end.
To work out the correct length of stay measure from the fixing pin at one end of the tube to the fixing pin at the other end of the tube when the stay is at its shortest length.
