Driver's side vent window - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**nlped** · 07-15-2009, 10:49 AM

I may be doing this in the wrong place, and if so, sorry. I'm NEW!

I was disassembling my driver's side door glass "stuff" to replace the vent window seals and the window channel seals and come to find out that the little stud on the bottom that the window pivots on (not the rivot) is broken. And, of course I got the wrong seal the 1st time too. My '87 has 2 piece seals rather than the 1 piece ones that I thought it should have. So, after 11 days of waiting for the replacement seals to arrive I have been riding around without any window rubber on the driver's side...just a bit of wind noise, but the A/C is cold, so I just suck it up.

I know I could weld this back, but will it hold up since it has so much tension on it from the spring set up lower down? If not, I need a new drivers side vent window for my '87

. The channel seems fine, just the window stud.

New wing assemblies are around $280 or so. You're probably best to try to fix the one you have if possible, or find one at your local pull-a-part.

Forgot to mention CL also. I bought a pair of wing assemlies last month (CL Ad) for $5 each!

**nlped** · 07-15-2009, 03:58 PM

Wow, $5. I need to find that deal!

babyJay · 07-15-2009, 04:08 PM

I couldn't resist for that price. Good luck with your search.

Still waiting on the replacement pivot rivets, tool, and vent window rubber "tape" from Cheyenne. I finally called today after waiting patiently for 2 weeks now to find out it hasn't shipped but "should go out this week" due to lack of inventory. 2 WEEKS, and no correspondence from them...AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE...NOT!!!

Just ventin'

That's them. Not very impressed with there customer service at all!

joe231 · 07-29-2009, 07:00 PM

Yeah a guy in Noble was telling me Cheyenne is about a mile from his place, but the guy won't let you pick up parts...he wanted to charge full shipping through a carrier to ship it in the same town
