Check this thread out, "highwinger" and I posted a lot of info in it on removing, rebuilding, and installing vent windows....

I actually read that thread last night while poking around for an answer to this. I'm lucky in having a cousin who is a 30 year auto body guy, so I can bribe him to help with the disassembly and reinstall.

Glad it's a simple fix. Thanks for the info.
