Still having trouble installing Vent window - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Brewski* · 10-25-2003, 11:47 AM

Still can't get it. Do I start from the inside of the door or outside.

71GMC_3/4T You have to rotate it 90 degrees (viewed from the top) and she'll slide in the "notch". Then you rotate it back. The window should be down all the way to get it in there.

Brewski* I am replacing the glass in my passanger side door. The old glass was broken out so getting the vent window assembly out was a breeze. I have the new glass in but can not figure how to get the vent glass back in. The part where it bolts to the inside won't go by the new window. Any help much appreciated.

I just put new vent windows and side glass in my truck,I did not have any trouble.first roll down your window all the way then insert vent window until bracket is in ,then rotate it , if you cannot get it in take the two bolts loose at the bottom of the track on the back of the side glass , these are on the inside of the door and would be covered with the door panel normally. this will give you a little more room and you should be able to get it in. Good Luck

Hey Brewski,
I just noticed you moved! I was gonna offer to drive down there and look at it, but you ain't in Colorady no more...

Did you get that window in yet?
