But I may just buy complete new vent windows...but could use that $ elsewhere!

Thanks Andy! The post was broken on my driver's side as well. It broke a few years ago, so I kept the post and handle all this time. Turns out that was a good thing for me to keep because I was able to weld it back on when I had my glass out of the window frame. Booger welds, but it's on solid and I have a handle again! I paid a local glass shop $30 to set all the door glass back on the frames for me after I cleaned them up and painted them. Don't forget, the 60-63 and 64-66 vent windows are a different shape

How much of your view of the mirror is blocked by the vent supports?

Thanks! I also like the black better than chrome and I don't have to keep it polished all the time
On the view, now that I think about it, I don't remember noticing any issue with the view being blocked. That's something that I definitely would have fixed if there was a major issue.
I thought about converting to a one piece window, but I'm glad I didn't
