Thanks Steve | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 442 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 442 | is there supposed to be a tension nut at the bottom of the wing assembly? my 53-53 have a large diameter spring, in which you adjust the nut to put more/less tension on the window, Check the factory assembly manual, or shop book.

There is a set of parts inside the door on the lower, threaded, mounting post - they put appropriate tension on the wing/vent window.
I think someone has posted a photo of the parts needed to provide proper tension, without pulling the vent-glass frame downwards off the glass.
