Re: Wing or vent window rebuild

The second one is always easier. The first time I installed the rigid strip first. That for me was a no-no. The wrap around goes in first as seen below.

Parts laid out on a padded work bench.



With some lube for it to squeeze into the channel I installed the wrap around piece first.



The rigid piece needs to be bowed a little to get it in the corner pockets.



The wrap around didn't fit as well as the first one. It seemed a little short on both ends.





I pulled it back out of the track some to fix the end gaps by shifting it. I trimmed about 1/8" off because it binding on the pivot bracket. It really didn't help much it was just too short.



With everything in and lined up it's ready for the rivets.
