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

Since the solid post is butt welded into a sheet metal frame I would replace the frame.

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.

You can weld them back on if you have a welder. Not hard. or replace but we just weld them back on. We do that stuff for free if customer brings in

Yeah, it's chrome and it's the passenger door. Is your spare for a passenger?

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.
