Snapped my vent window latch stud off!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ive been replacing all the seals in the doors and vent windows. Got the pass side done with no issues but while trying to get the vent glass out of the vent window frame to reseal it, I snapped the stud off for the lock. Does anyone make a replacement stud or better yet, just the vent window frame? The only thing I found was the whole assembly. Surely someone make the frame itself??

I don't believe they repop just the frames, but have been wrong before.
Alan did a great write up about restoring them in the FAQ section. That may help with possibly repairing yours?
