    C2 vent window adjustment

    Guys,
    Just finished rebuilding the vent window regulator on my 66 convertible. Gears are tight but the issue I' m now having is the vent window doesn't "nest" or sit correctly in the weather strip pocket. I have to push the top of the vent wing forward just slightly ( about 1/32") to get it to seat correctly in the gasket. I can see the upper pin (hinge) on the vent window frame is worn. The vent window is tight on the regulator. The hinge pin is tight except for the final 1/4" travel before seating then it is loose.

    If I can remove the vent window, can the hinge pin be shimmed with some thin sheet metal stock? Other repair methods??

      Don,

      I don't know as I was not able to get the vent window out. I was pressing down on vent window as described in shop manual but it would not move enough. I may live with it if it is a complex or expensive fix, car is just a driver. I had the bolt out that holds the vent window but does the regulator need to come out too?

        So I get everything all back together including door panel. I am admiring my work and I notice the vent glass will now slide out of the vent window frame.
        Looks like I need that fabric material , vent window glass mounting material, Paragon Part #3495.

        Is this an adhesive material or a press fit? Any tips on installation?
