Vent windows

[Tim P.]

Is there a trick to removing the seals that hold the vent window glass to frame and is there a replacement one ore a means to fixing the handle on the glass frame as i have ones that are missing the stud that holds the handle to frame any input on this would be appreciated, Tim P.

There is a how to section (a couple of pages) in the back of the dennis carpenter catalog. This may help it shows how to replace the door weatherstrips and the rubber around the vent window. I just repalced the window runs and the belt felts. Although I didn't replace or take apart the vent window seal area these pages should still help. If I remember right it talked about drilling out a couple of rivits or welds to actually take the vent frame apart.
I don't have the book in front of me I am just going off of two day old memory?

This info can be viewed online at dennis-carpenter.com
Look under download online catalog 67-72 ford trucks. I think the info is on page 129 of 138 in the catalog

Mark Im familiar with the info in the catalog from D/C what i would like to know is how to remove the stuff that holds the actual vent glass in the frame its like a rubber like stuff that sets the glass and is there a replacement metal frame for the glass only because the stub that holds the vent lock handle is missing need to address this not sure what to do about this.

Wish I could help you on the removal of the glass, but I've never tried doing that. You could always just replace the vent window assembly...I've got several of those laying around, if you're interested.

Yes Keith I would like the best passenger side one you have just the frame and glass if you cant remove the glass i figured out how to remove the glass from frame it must have the stub for mounting the lock handle and piviot mount dont need the track or the other stuff it attaches to. Thanks Tim P.
