Related Questions. I have run into a problem with the reassembly since I didn't disassemble them. As I am looking at the Moss website it mentions a "waist rail" I don't see them in my box of parts. Is it some type of reinforcement? Hi Kim, I am having difficulty getting the vent window assembly out of the door with the side window in place.
It looks like I need to twist the assembly so the bracket is parallel. With the window glass in place, this doesn't seem possible. Am I missing something? MGBGT is the Vent Window distance piece not available the same as a Roadster distance piece and does it fit between the moving window and the fixed frame. Thanks Terry. Great article! I was looking for some help as I also snapped the pivot pin. Having read your article I have just completed the disassembly of the windows and replacement parts ordered.
Thanks Wim. I am having difficulty with re-installation of the main window. The window movement on the track causes it slip out of either the front or back channel. I have the back channel all the way forward. The front wind wing assembly does not look like it has front to back movement capabilities.
Am I looking at this wrong or does the wind wing assembly move and I simply need to move it back. The rubber glazing from the Victoria catalog, which wraps the vent glass on three sides was simply too thick to slide back into the vent frame.
Even worse, once there was the radius turn at the top it became obvious this sandwich would not reassemble. There are several grades of "hardness" of the rubber sheet, I opted for a fairly pliable grade. Thanks for the tip. I ordered the glazing from Moss But that was eight years ago, so no idea what they are supplying these days.
The stuff I used, as I recall, was pretty soft and even a little sticky not hard rubber. Almost putty-like. I received new rubber from I ordered the glazing from Victoria catalog and it is too thick and too hard. What is Moss supplying for the glazing.
It's been eight years since I did this project so don't have an answer about what glazing stuff is available.
Like I said above, I know I ordered mine from Moss back in , and it was soft and pliable, almost "gummy. Hello KimRebuilt the quarter light assembly with all new hardware an seals but how do you get the quarter light glass to go into the frame with the new rubber?
Thank you for the right way wrong way information and photos. I purchased a new hinge with the pin that pop rivets into the vent window frame in I am just now getting to the task of fixing the vent hinge. I agree with Jim P on the glazing rubber thickness from Victoria British. I could not get the last. There first response was to tell me the glazing rubber I was using was too thick. I'm sorry that I don't -- if I had one, it would have been on a computer drive that crashed a while back, and I never retrieved all those files.
Sorry, inadvertently submitted that answer mid sentence while looking at the photos myself Make sure the slanted head of the pivot pin is going the right way. First, great article. Very well written. I've got everything apart, and want to removed the glass from the vent frame. The top half comes out of the frame, but the lower part, especially the part near the latch won't budge.
Should I just keep applying pressure until it separates from the frame? I thought maybe that the latch went through the window. But after reading your article I see that's not true. Thanks for any help you can offer.
Probably the old glazing rubber near the latch is just hardened and crusty, and has a death grip on the glass. Be careful, because of course you do not want to break the glass but see what you can do to "persuade" it to come free of the frame.
Maybe some wiggling side to side? Or you might try some solvent, something that might soften the old rubber, and maybe use a very small flat screwdriver to gently! Good luck! Just re-read my writeup, and I see that silicone spray was recommended to loosen up the old glazing.
So give that a try! Does anyone know how to tighten the pop rivets on the vent hinge? My vent window rattles all the time while the car is in motion. I took the rubber molding out on the frame and could see the ends of the two pop rivets. They are both loose, but I can't get to them to squeeze them or hammer them tight again. Their heads are flush against the outside of the frame and are very hard.
I started to drill them out, but my bit wouldn't cut into them. Now you can remove the vent window seal by prying up on it, and pulling from the channel out. Set the vent window on a flat, level surface. On the underside, use a wrench to remove the nut and spring. I HIGHLY recommend using ziplock baggies with labels to separate the vent window parts from other windows, just to make it easier when you are ready to go back together. Next, take a drill bit and drill out the rivet on the vent window pivot.
Now gently move the window to the side and pull it out from the frame. Be careful to catch the metal plate and spacer from the underside. Make sure to also note the orientation for reassembly. It is held in by 4 small rivets that will need to be drilled out. Once those are removed, you can pull the weatherstrip free and set it aside. Finally, take one end of the remaining weatherstrip and pull up and out until free.
Now that all parts are removed, take the new divider bar seal and set it on the frame. Make sure to align the holes before going forward. Next, take the new vent window seal and mock it up against the frame. Once you have it laid out, you can fully install it by taking one end and bending it at a 45 degree angle, and slide into the frame channel, working a small section at a time.
I prefer to start at the corner and work my way out in order to ensure it fits properly. Remember the little metal plate and spacer from earlier? Set those back in the metal frame in the correct orientation, and then place the glass and glass frame back into the vent window frame.
Next, attach the spring and nut onto the bottom, but only hand-tight at this time.
