The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Task force vent window rebuild

I do not see how the glass frame is not riding on the tops of the upset pop rivet in the division bar. I realize the top of rivets are covered with felt. I don't like that idea and other vendors sell the proper semi-tubular rivets and tool. You can ask Precision about that and see what they say. It did not seem to create a tight fit against window. It did not seem like they smashed the upset further. There is a frame around the glass so the actual glass is not rubbing. It is only slightly easier with pop rivets and you only have two vents to do. Why take a chance?

I also noticed he did not push the run channel up into the corner. He then cut it too short in my opinion. Then I saw a quick shot where it was shown sticking out after he was "done". Not good. That corner will not be forced enough by the glass rolling up, it's got metal that needs formed into the corner. I've had to use tiny screws sometimes to keep it in place. You have to force the corner into place, hold it somehow, then mark the cut line.
