Vent widows hit inside door when open all the way - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I rebuilt my vent windows, what a pain. Now when I open my vent window all the way it hits the door on the inside before it opens 100%. It needs to be a little bit higher but I see no way to raise it. I opened it all the way and chipped my new paint!

I'm not sure what is going on.
Can you posts some pics?

My driver side vent window does this too after I rebuilt it. So, I took a long hard look at the condition of the pass side & didn't rebuild it.

Yea I hear ya. After doing both of mine I would do it different next time and just use a rivet gun. It would be much quicker and easier.

How did you rivet the gaskets in place?

With a hammer, vise and stupid tool that comes with the kit.
