Ditto Bob.  If the nut comes undone without snapping the pivot pin (not =
nut) then yes it is possible to remove the vent window with the =
quarter-light in-situ.  But the pivot pin and nut are between two small =
holes for the securing nuts, the pivot is pointing forwards, and the =
nearest large access hole is below and behind it and the long leg of the =
frame is in the way.  With the vent out it is just a matter of stuffing =
the new seal in as you say and refitting the vent.  If you snap the =
pivot pin you have to remove the glass from the vent, so best avoided.

  Question, I replaced the horizontal seal on my vent windows many years =
ago and did remove the window. To replace the =
=E2=80=9Ctriangular=E2=80=9D rubber seal around the vent window can I =
just remove the old one and stuff the new one in, or do I need to remove =
the window again?   Thanks
