Angry Replacing vent window rubber

Broke my bolt off even after soaking overnight with pb blaster : Now all I can think to do to remedy this is tack weld a few spots around it, I got the other side done with no problem. and I got all my door rubber replaced, this is by far the biggest pain in the a## job I have done on this truck yet by far!

Did you buy the reproduced whole vent window assembly? I bought this set at my local salvage yard for 5 bucks, and cleaned them up. Makes me sick that I broke the pass. side. Anyone know of another fix for the spring bolt breaking off? I have another set but they arent chrome.

Re: Replacing vent window rubber

IMHO--maybe try welding first. If it works; cool.
If not you're just out some time.

Good Luck! And~~Nice truck!!
