my Vent windows may be

assembled incorrectly, why do I think this?, well when I put on the locking type handle the handles rub real hard on the rubber to get them open. so can I ask for help? it looks that the frame work of the vent window where the new rubber seals are the out side frame is narrow and inside the cab they are wide. hummm let me try to improve this. where the handle locks on the frame, the inside portion of this frame is wider then the outside portion of the frame. can someone please post close up pictures of what is correct for the assembled frame inside and out where the vent handle locks to verify if this is assembled wrong or not.... please

Some claim it's the quality of the rubber repo stuff. I have seen this problem also. Once you verify the assy is correct all you can do is trim & keep the sucker closed. Thats why they are 100 a piece assembled new.
