there should be a little pin that goes in the hole theres a small chain on the pin that fastens to the window so when you pull the pin out it just dangles there

you could use a small punch thats been cut down or bolt etc get a mountain bike seat quick release shorten it an retap the thread an insert through hole in window as its easy for folk to remove the standard pin from the outside

Most secure version I've seen was a piece of polycarb the size of the 'slider' but only about a CM tall, that you just slot in behind it.

mine has little bolts in the holes, so you just slide shut, wind up the bolt and they're locked.
