Re: Wing or vent window rebuild

Do I keep the channel or just use the strips?

Thanks!

You bought a "cheaper" kit, its the same one I used on Maggies truck. You remove everything except the Chrome strips on the edge of the vent window frame (cut the old felt loose with a razor), yes the glass fits loose but it works fine. If doing a "real" restoration you can still get the original style!!
