  1. Window does not stay completely up because of slack in pull needed to unhook the strap. You need a piece like a round socket or wood dowel to slide under the strap to keep the window completely closed.
  2. Because of above, the window creeps down 1/2" taking up the slack in the pull. You need to pull window up some to have enough slack in strap to remove it from the hook.
  3. When the window is full down and hooked, it can be hard to get your finger under the strap to get the window up.

I do not experience window rattling and even if I did, I would not be able to really hear it. Reference my first picture.
I was thinking of using a series of snaps on the strap to lower the window to different heights. I am thinking maybe the snaps would help eliminate your sag problem.

The other thought I have been mulling over is usign a strap of leather that is reinforced, maybe with nylon inside, - or just folded over and stitched like the door pulls from APPBIZ. Or, just use a nylon window strap instead...
