Title: Front quarter vent frame (Stuffed or fixable)?
Post by: smitty on January 29, 2019, 11:23:22 AM
Hey all,

The holding pin on the bottom of the chrome frame that holds the front driver quarter glass in has rusted away and recently snapped leaving the window hanging from the single rivet up the top.

Is this fixable or will i need to get a new chrome frame?

I’ve seen them braized up but I’d try and source a replacement first.

A replacement should not be too hard to find. I would try that avenue first because you have to take the glass out to fix it and you will probably find the frame has rust as well.
