Wing glass post broken
My passengers side wing glass is flopping. The center post at the bottom broke. Anybody ever fixed one or do I have to replace the entire unit?

Re: Wing glass post broken
i think if you replace it u will have to mess with that rivet, i think the bolt is welded onto the bottom of the window frame ....i think i would just replace with good used one ...jsut my 2 cents

Re: Wing glass post broken
Since the solid post is butt welded into a sheet metal frame I would replace the frame.

Re: Wing glass post broken
If yours is a chrome wing I could possibly help you with a replacement piece as I have a spare, but if it's just plain I'd go to a jy and get another one.

Re: Wing glass post broken
Weld it right there in the door huh? Can you tell me what rod it would take? I have a lincoln arc welder if that will work.
