Thanks to all who replied. Right now I think I will use the setting tape and see how it goes in. If it acts to tight I'll pull it back out and use a good layer of silicone all the way around the wing vent.
If it feels like its gonna go easy I'll put some sealer in with it and push it in.
I was thinking of the sealer because I know I need to fit it in the BIG frame and make sure the straight up edge seals good when the wing vent closes. So therefore when I do that I may need to "pull it back" just a tat and the silicone would let me do that.
Just so you know I have ALL the wing vent assembly taken apart, bead blssted it and have it painted and I have New tinted glass cut that matches the thickness I took out and the glass was cut from an original glass. Joe sent me the pattern.
NOW...I'll make a new post about this so if you answer please see the new post BUT....
I also got new RIVETS along with the Rivet Setting Tool to put the little metal/rubber strips straight the wing vent assembly. Well, today I took one of the rivets to play around with and see how hard it was to flatten them boogers out and WOW, I hit that sucker with a BIG lick or two and That rivet barely budged.
WHat is the secret to getting them to flatten out? Whats the trick guys?
EDIT: Tim, I'm with you on the manual instructions. I've read them two or three times...maybe four or five! Thanks
