Looking for a source of the cable loops that hook over the vent wing latch to keep from someone sliding open the front window. Searched, but not sure exactly what their official name is? Appreciate the help here...

Not sure they've got an 'official' name. I've seen them called splitscreen quarter light locks and vent window latch locks.

Couple of examples, but they're in the UK or Europe...

But they're basically just a couple of loops joined together. You could make something with key ring loops and a short length of metal chain from a hardware store.

I just use two key rings and a short chain. Works fine.

I have seen these used on buses front door sliding windows in the past. Not pretty but functional

Is Corona Ryan still making and selling these? He called them latch locks.
