I am getting ready to assembly the vent windows and I had a few questions about my setup.
I bought the complete kit from LMC truck and I need to figure out where everything goes. Here's a picture:

I believe the location of the parts outlined in red is correct right? What are these parts outlined in blue? I think the long rubber piece is the wiper that goes inside the door, but I don't know where that felt piece goes.

Here is the picture of the wiper rubber thing, I think it must be for a truck with no vent windows judging by the length.

I believe this is the correct channel, but where does it start and end. I guess the right side is supposed to go all the way down in the door in a channel right? And the top left only goes up to and butts up against the side of the vent window assembly? How is it attached to the inside of the door channels?

Here is the piece that I am missing for the left side door, but I found out you can order it. This is the channel that goes down the side of the door to secure the felt thing the window rides in right?

Also, my truck only had one of these, so I guess I will probably have to buy a new set of two? That's all I see in the popular truck catalogs. How do you get the old stuff out of there?

Also I have a question about how to put the glass in the vent window. I couldn't find anything that came with my parts, so I guess I just need to get some glass tape? Is that the stuff the manual refers to? Where you put oil on it and it swells up. Is it the same stuff for the regular window and the vent window?

If someone could direct me to another post with all this information that would be just as good, but I have searched for about a half hour and haven't found all the information I need about this subject. Thanks for the help in advance.

Larger pictures are located in the "misc. mechanical and anciallary systems" section of my webshots. They should be the last pictures there (most recent).

.... I see it Dakota!! and I read all of Alan's comments and must say he did a good job. I will add a couple comments just for Justin to have some choices.

My installations went well until yesterday. You can read about them on Paint and body or a post I just did in the General truck forum. No use to bore everyone here with the same story.

I had my vent assemblies powdercoated gloss black and man they look good. Justin, you can take that nut off the bottom of the wing vent to get your glass out if you want to. Just notice that there is two piece's of "leather" washers that go in two places. Also there two smaller washers with square holes and one big washer with a square hole. This is if you take it all the way apart.
Put your new rubber on the frame just before putting in new glass. I could not get the little rivets to flatten like they are suppose to on the little verticle piece so I used the adhesive/sealant on them and let them dry.
I put in new glass but did NOT use the glass tape. There IS two thickness of glass tape and it will make a differnce.Its hard to put the glass if to thick. Beside's, I don't think the new glass tape I ordered had any soapstone on it!! HOWEVER, I ended up buying a tube of black ADHESIVE & Sealer at Advance Auto. The tube of stuff will fit in my regular caulking gun. Now, here is an important part.... cut the tip off to where it will lay a BIG roll of the adhesive/sealer down in the groove for the vent glass.... don't be afraid to really fill up the groove. Then slide the glass in and CLOSE the wing vent and latch the handle.
THEN pull the wing vent back just a little so that the glass comes back and seals good against the vertical seal. Lay the assembly flat to where the glass will press down to the outside for sealing good. Do not mess with the adhesive at this point..its messy!! Hopefully you put enough in the grooves to where it oozes out good. Next day, cut around the frame with a razor blade, the just skim or pull it off. It will do a nice job and look really good. I have some pics of mine but have not uploaded to photobucket.
There is an online manual that will also give you the directions for doing this. I think there is a link to it in the tech tips?
Thanks to Keith Hardy for doing the online manuals.
As Alan said, its a little tricky to put the assembly down in the door and engage the window...be slow and patient.

I'm having problems with all my new stuff and just now finding out that the window I used for a pattern was not the correct size and it gave me problems.
If I can be of help let me know. Good luck....oh, and get aome young man with small arms to put that bolt back in the bottom of the wing vent assembly.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
