Thanks guys! Next patch is the door bottom. I’m hoping that goes as well!

Speaking of vent windows, an FYI that I noticed while trying to remove the nut on the pivot. After tension adjustment from the factory, they crimp the nut so it difficult or impossible to remove. The pivot stud has flats on both sides that correspond to the crimps. Drivers side came of with not too much effort but the passengers side would only turn maybe an eight of a turn (after soaking with PB Blaster overnight and working it back and forth several times). I was afraid I was going to sheer off the pivot stud, so I used a nut buster to save the pivot. I’ll replace the both with a 5/16”-24 nylock nuts.
