Still needs a bit of polish, but roughly done

The saga goes like this!

My attempt went like this FAILED @ rebuilding the vent windows

Wrong ds gasket installed on ps gasket

Had window surround chrome done

Bought SS U channel but original has a swage at top to fit in door frame

jeez Jim I was going to take a shot a rebuilding mine but im chicken :)

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Snapped free as in functions correctly now? Or snapped free from some where it was supposed to be attched to?

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

If there is such a good thing as a SNAP, I think it was the cam and spring on the post freeing up

But I was concerned that the hinge was going to twist off, so my focus was on the hinge

Jesse, the whole process of rebuilding them isn't difficult, I just lost one of the parts. It was called FOCUS

I picked this one for 15.00, on our boards, and now I have a sample to go by

I'll revisit this at a later date, for now I have lots of other stuff to do

Thanks for stopping by guys, encouraging to see someone actually reads this

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Hey Jim, I plan to rebuild my vent windows also, thanks for letting me know how you have done yours. I will check the bottom spring assembly.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Just take one apart at a time so you have a sample

Your truck looks amazing, thanks for posting up. I always enjoy your posts

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Today I was looking at the vent window and noticed a haze on it,

Windex didn't touch it nor carb cleaner

So I went extreme, OOOO x steel wool, took it right off

Finished up with the vent window, of course I dropped one of special screws LOST

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Never would have thought....rust in the vent windows

Drive head leaves a little to be desired, prefer hex drive and a little less counter sunk
My trusty old ignition screw holder came thru again, probably one of the oldest in the box

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Seems to be pretty solid so far, one more screw to install

I may have found the key to installing vent window gasket

Pushing down on the gasket at the top bracket seems to keep the gasket running in the channel, while pulling down on the gasket towards the bottom of the vent frame

This tool will save your fingers from cramping up

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

This area gets tricky as the bracket wants to pull the gasket out of the C channel

Windex makes it slid better, but the trade off is that it also comes out of the channel easily

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Taking notes on your vent window build ... good info.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Thanks CG will keep that in mind as I progress, nice to know and thanks for stopping by
