My other question, if i replace the entire window vent assembly, do i need to remove the large side window next to it, to do this? Thanks for any help. I did watch a video on this, and the guy was installing both the vent and the side window at the same time. It looked like he had to kind of install them together in his video. But thought i'd ask to see what you all think out here. The guy in the video was wearing a Stovebolt shirt, so that was nice. It was a very well done video. Thanks for the help.

The 55 second series shop manual I have gives the whole sequence, which sounds kind of fiddly. I'd go by the video.

Has anyone ever done that before and have any tips on doing that???

I think it wouldn't be hard to just do the vent glass. I believe you'd just need glass setting tape and could do it in place.

He said the vent glass is no big deal but then again he’s a professional!
