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  16812873477955623621708462916207 by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/198023675@N07

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
Today I was looking at the vent window and noticed a haze on it,
Windex didn't touch it nor carb cleaner So I went extreme, OOOO x steel wool, took it right off  16819092085901077308551743514136 by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/198023675@N07

Re: PO has me PO'd
I may have found the key to installing vent window gasket

Re: PO has me PO'd
This area gets tricky as the bracket wants to pull the gasket out of the C channel
 16839887199705642420944309778849 by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/198023675@N07Windex makes it slid better, but the trade off is that it also comes out of the channel easily
