I have a chrome set with soft ray glass, just waiting to see how the sale of the first set goes and who's seriously interested in having some done.

That could be fixed by either welding it back together which could ruin the chrome, or by using another chrome frame for the glass.

BTW thanks for info!
I would be interested in the exact part number too. I did one of my vent windows with the hammer set tool and I am not really happy with it and I have 3 more to do.

I was hoping the pin could be changed. I already bought used replacement but the chrome isn't as nice as mine.
