[FC] f.c. vent window w/strp ?

[Paul Steinberg]

get some good 2 part epoxy glue and glue the new weatherstrip into the channel.  Just clamp it in place along the entire length and allow 24 hours to dry.  That is what I have always done and never had any problems with them coming loose.  Make sure that you replace the other side channel weatherstrip or the window will still rattle.  While you have it out, make sure that the rollers are still tight and round.  Lube everything and put back together.  The door  window cranks should be at 4 o'clock position when the window is fully up and you are looking straight at them.  This will keep the window from falling as you go over bumps and the handles weight will keep them closed.  Check the assembly manual if you don't understand these instructions..... Paul in CT...

  I am working on a 61 rmpsde vent window replacing the w/strip. The division channel is toast ordered replacement from Clark's. I am concerned about reviting the div. channel to the vent frame work. The new div. channel does not have the rivet holes drilled and they will need to countersunk to match old channel. In drilling and countersinking I am afraid of getting the vent window assy. out of alignment with the main window channel. And will I be able to rivet things tight enough to make it work ? 
  Can someone who has done this repair advise me please.? You may post me at gnafziger1288 at msn.com<mailto:gnafziger1288 at msn.com>   Thank you very much.          Jerry Nafziger
