Vent Window Pivot Broken - How much trouble am I in?
First dry day in South Fla and I decide to tackle something I've been meaning to do for a while. Vent window frame came out of the door without much trouble, but the moment I exerted a little force to remove the window from the frame the bottom pivot snapped. Jumped online and can find NOTHING as a replacement. All the available frames or compete used windows say they're for upto a '66 or a '73 on, but nothing for a '69. What are my options?

Thanks, Ohio. In hindsight, I coulda, woulda, shoulda cut the nut off after seeing how much wet rust there was on the threads, but decided to try my luck with a little atf/acetone and light force. I won't make that mistake on the drivers side and will surgically remove the nut instead in order to remove the vent glass to replace the seal. I was able to find ONE on ebay for my year that should work, but I will remember the folks at Flashback for my future needs.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
