Jouke,
You don't need to tale the whole assembly out. You will have to remove the
interior door pannel to access the pivot bolt that holds the vent window in
place. There's two nuts, a waasher and a spring that need to be removed from
the bolt. Once these are removed, open the vent window and slide up. The
vent window and bolt should come right out. Be very careful when removing
the nuts and springs if they're rusted to the bolt...the bolt will
shear...trust me...I know.
The vent seals are getting harder to come by. I was able to get the right
side for my Midget but haven't been able to get the left side.
Good Luck,
Dan Dwelley
