[FC] Vent Frame Refurbish

[Western Canada CORSA]

Number 1 lesson I learned was that:

If I was doing it again I would check with both vendors to see which sells
the longer main window channel.  The one I purchased was about an inch
shorter than the original and left no room for error when it came to
drilling the holes for the bottom bracket.

Secondly, it would be nice if the vendors including some instructions for
the reassembly of the pieces.  Specifically, which drill sizes, and sizes
and types of rivets to have on-hand prior to attempting the task.  Standard
rivets work, but can require peening to get the channel clear for the window
to travel freely.  I had been told of a different kind that works better,
but couldn't remember the specifics when it came time to do the job.

Thirdly.  While being able to purchase complete assemblies would be nice, it
is probably impractical.  However, I don't think it's too much of a stretch
to wonder if the vendors couldn't at least offer the main channel with the
holes already pre-drilled.  Asking each shady tree mechanic to attempt to
get the numerous holes exactly right, most using a hand drill and a vise is,
IMHO, kinda silly.

Regards,
Joel

OK, I was planning on replacing the rubber on my powder-coated vent frames.
What should I look-out for on reinstalling the rubber?

THANKS
