(5/13/15 | In Person [Michael Ix]) - Regarding your concerns on finding a way to lock your window's position after rotation, why don't you look into something similar to a boat antenna and the way that mechanism work?
Response: That was a really good suggestion, which ultimately led us into buying a ratchet and pawl mechanism to solve our problem.
