<VV> LM vent window pin

[Larry Forman]

Hi Jim,
I use a small pin punch, as you suggested.  I have never thought to lube 
them, but that should not hurt.  Might even help.  Less mess leaving them 
dry and quicker, however.  A couple of taps and out they come.  Guide them 
in straight and start with gentle taps and they should glide right 
in.  Should be all done in less time than it took to type 
this.  LOL.  Having a spare roll pin might be a good idea, just in case the 
"glide" part doesn't.

Larry
