how to adjust vent window with new seals
So I had Precision replace my vent seals and the passenger side is dead silent. Driver side, not so much. I can see that it doesn't seat as deeply in the seal and assume that's whats causing the issue. Is there a way to adjust them?

Re: how to adjust vent window with new seals
odds are your vent latch is just worn out or bent slightly. Either problem is corrected by replacing the latch assembly.

YouTube has several (maybe several hundred!) videos on how to do the job, some much better than others.

Re: how to adjust vent window with new seals
That's what I plan on doing with mine. They have all sorts of bundles for whatever need you have.

Re: how to adjust vent window with new seals
I'm in the process of doing mine using parts from ClassicParts.com. Good prices, fast shipping, and helpful phone support. I think these guys bought Chevy Duty Truck Parts, a catalog vendor from back in the day when you'd mail or phone-in an order.
