Unrelated, but my mechanic just bought an insanely bright snap on light. Thought this pic was kinda cool.
This was decidedly not cool at all. The old window channel had become a very brittle, hard plastic. I had to pick it out of the metal channel on the vent window piece by piece with a screwdriver, pick, and needle nose pliers. It took the better part of an hour.
Here you can see what size pieces I was working with.
Finally got it all out.
And cleaned it out with brake cleaner to get the old sticky gunk out.
I didn't take pics of the new window channel installed, but I was somehow out of lithium grease for the track, so it's still taken apart. I'll wrap that up tomorrow and if my work schedule cooperates, I'll pull the bed off and pressure spray everything to get ready for my suspension install.
