Ok. Well, had I realized that the piece with the two screw holes was broken off (on both), it all might have made more sense. Since, Mother Nature decided that today was to be rainy, and without side windows, I needed to get them in. Being in Italy, getting new pieces wasn't an option today. So, I had to do a bit of fabrication.

Mission accomplished. I think.

Windows are pretty hard to roll up and down. I think I know the problem. I ordered the felt that goes in the vent window channel. What arrived was the felt that goes around the top of the door, for window to go up into. Well, I thought, I needed that too. Unfortunately, It is way too wide. Tired of paying double for everything, I thought I'd find what I could here. I found the 'felt' that goes around the top of the door, and it is great. What I found for the vent wing channel is tight. I burned out the heavy felt in the middle which opened it up. But it is still tight.

I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will 'break in', and not just break. Any tricks for 'greasing the skids'?
