Vent window rebuild
We finished rebuilding the vent windows this weekend. The rubber was a mess and there was some real rust issues. We took the windows apart, mitigated the rust and covered the rough areas with Rust encapsulator. The rubber and rivets came from Brothers and fit really well. It was tough getting the rubber in the bottom corner of the windows, but a set of vice clamps got it done.
I had read elsewhere in the forum about installing the rivets backwards because of the tight fit. We overcame this with a piece of steel rod with the end round out with a drill bit. This kept the rivet in place while we drove the rivet tool on the backside.
