Re: PO has me PO'd
If there is such a good thing as a SNAP, I think it was the cam and spring on the post freeing up
But I was concerned that the hinge was going to twist off, so my focus was on the hinge Jesse, the whole process of rebuilding them isn't difficult, I just lost one of the parts. It was called FOCUS I picked this one for 15.00, on our boards, and now I have a sample to go by I'll revisit this at a later date, for now I have lots of other stuff to do Thanks for stopping by guys, encouraging to see someone actually reads this ![]()

Re: PO has me PO'd
Hey Jim, I plan to rebuild my vent windows also, thanks for letting me know how you have done yours. I will check the bottom spring assembly.

Re: PO has me PO'd
![]() ![]() Drive head leaves a little to be desired, prefer hex drive and a little less counter sunk My trusty old ignition screw holder came thru again, probably one of the oldest in the box

Re: PO has me PO'd
I may have found the key to installing vent window gasket
![]() ![]() Pushing down on the gasket at the top bracket seems to keep the gasket running in the channel, while pulling down on the gasket towards the bottom of the vent frame

Re: PO has me PO'd
This area gets tricky as the bracket wants to pull the gasket out of the C channel
![]() Windex makes it slid better, but the trade off is that it also comes out of the channel easily
