NEED HELP with vent window handle - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I had to replace the glass in my vent window, but can't get the old handle apart to put it in the new glass, how does it come apart?

Thanks

Well, I'm gonna bend over, and let my a$$ do the talking here, as I've never actually taken one apart.

But,

There's just a small roll pin, at the base of the handle, near the glass. All you need to do is drive that out, if my memory serves me correctly. Then it should just pull apart.

Good luck!

Good guess, then the rest comes apart like a nut and bolt.

Make sure the new vent window glass is same thickness as old glass. If it is thinner, the handlle will be slightly loose when you close the vent and it will not seal well. Happened to me .
