Vent window frames
How good are the aftermarket vent frames and hardware?I am having a heck of a time finding a used set that is not rusted out.I am sure I have seen this discussed before but don't remember the verdict on these.
Every day above ground is a good one

Re: Vent window frames
The last time I inquired MAC`s said that they were out of stock and then told me that they don`t foresee them being made again..........but Good old Tom came to the party with beautiful used set, I`d try him at flashbackF100`s..
Honey, If I say I`ll fix something I will, there`s no need to remind me every 6 months!!

Same as Alan, got a set off Tom and they were perfect. Came as a complete set, glass, frames, pivots etc... Just had to replace rubber, which I was doing with every rubber piece on the truck anyhow.

Re: Vent window frames
I bought a set from blue oval truck parts when they first started making then and they fit great. http://www.blueovaltruckparts.com/i-170 ... ---LH.aspx
What I found though is the glass needed a gasket or rubber insert to seat the glass correctly. I couldn't find anything that fit so the glass shop worked some magic to seat the glass. Looked good but not as neat as factory.

Re: Vent window frames
This was blue slick Alan, so the glass fell out of the frames and the frames were toast. Big reds are staying put although I did just replace the vent rubbers.

Re: Vent window frames
I had a bugger of a time trying to get the glass out of Lenore's vent windows, in fact I think I stuffed them and had to get those from Tom as well, the sealant they use is the same as they use to attach the side windows to the regulator frame, a thin strip of sticky rubber.

Re: Vent window frames
Alan we call it glass setting tape,, sticky material about 1" wide , put it in the frame, rubber mallet to put the glass in then take a razor blade knife to cut the extra off, can be used where the door glass sits in the channel where the regulator is as well
