Re: Vent Windows
I just used the ones that came with the pop-rivet gun from AZ. Didn't need it til I changed out my vent gaskets. No problems yet, and that was 6 yrs ago.

Re: Vent Windows
Try Classic Parts of America. I just rebuilt both of mine last year. Got the weatherstrip, rivets and rivet set tool from them.

Re: Vent Windows
I just finished. Just used 1/8 pop-rivets and 3/4 rivet with a washer on the end. Turned out pretty nice considering I've never done it before.

Re: Vent Windows
Just saw a nice rivet kit for those today in my new 'Brothers' catalog.
Hard to find them in their online catalog though. http://www.brotherstrucks.com/ |

Re: Vent Windows
does anyone have a "hot to" on this? I tried on driver side and got mad and just bought new GM assemblies (almost $400 ea.). I have my old windows and the seals and would like to fix them for spares.

Re: Vent Windows
How hard is it to change out the complete assembly? I was going to get a body shop to put new rubber on my '83, but by the time I get the parts and pay them labor I might be better off buying the whole thing.

Re: Vent Windows
The best way is to use dawn soap and a 1 inch putty knife to push it into the groove. Once its in the grove.. easy as cake. Oh and patience helps too.

Re: Vent Windows
I just received my parts for vent window and rivets from LMC. Working on it now and needed a video or how to before I tore into it. Thanks...
