Wing window questions

So looking at the attached LMC diagram it looks like I can tack it back together. Is it that simple or am I missing something?

Is the spring just a tensioner to keep the window from flopping around?

You should be able to tack weld it. That's the nice thing about the Mig welders, you can keep the welded area pretty cool. The spring is an adjustable tensioner that never gets lubed so that puts a lot of stress on the joint between the window and tensioner stud.

Check this thread out, "highwinger" and I posted a lot of info in it on removing, rebuilding, and installing vent windows....

I actually read that thread last night while poking around for an answer to this. I'm lucky in having a cousin who is a 30 year auto body guy, so I can bribe him to help with the disassembly and reinstall.

Glad it's a simple fix. Thanks for the info.
