Vent window - assembly procedure?

[Gustav_t]

Hi guys

A good friend gave me a left side rear window with an opening vent window.
The frame and rubber was really bad but the glass was there and it was free.
I bought a NOS vent window frame and some new rubber.
It was easy to take apart - the frame being half perished from rust.

Now I have to put it back together but cant seem to get it back in the new (tight) frame.
The bottom tab seems to be removable? should I put that in after the window is put in the outer frame?

Thank you for your help.

G.

Crap! My pivot in the bottom is broken off. Can I just glue it with a strong adhessive maybe?

Weld it dude! If you were near to me I would do it for you but Denmark is a bit far!!

I'd imagine it would need welding back in. If you think about all the stresses on that pivot, adhesive wouldn't be enough.

Or do what I did and get sliders. :lol:

you can get some really crazy glue these days. But I guess yiu are right.

ps. thanks! I can weld but that would ruin the chrome wouldnt it?

Maybe take the glass out and weld from the inside of the frame? Bit tricky but doable. Any affected chrome would be on the bottom and not visible?

I decided to TIG weld the tab from the underside. I will let you know if its working out.

I had this happen when I did mine. I welded from the inside if the frame with glass out and it works purfectly. You will need a new seal for the glass I posted all the details when doing the job I'll find you the link
