[Tigers] "vent window assembly" removal

[Ron Fraser]

Jim
	There are 2-#10 screws in the door waist Chrome finisher; remove
them.  I think the vent window assemble will just pull up now.  You may want
to remove the door panel to confirm this.

There are a total of 6 more small screws that hold the finisher to the glass
frame.  2 screws are at the front edge of the glass frame, 2 screws on the
under side of the finisher, not sure these need to be removed, and 2 screws
under the felt window channel which holds an "L" bracket. You should be able
to see these 2 screws through the channel or you may need to remove the
channel to get at them.  The finisher will now come out and the glass pulled
out the bottom of the glass frame.

Those 6 small screw will be the biggest problem; they are probably well
corroded solid.  Hopefully yours will just turn out.  I have used straight
ATF as a penetrating oil with great success; sometimes I have soaked parts
in ATF overnight and easily turned bolts out.

Work slow and try not to break any of the small screws.

Hello,

Got the Tiger out of storage and brought it home today. Though raining
lightly, I had brought in last fall with the hard-top on. Made for a cozy
ride
home.

Grabbed the service manual and tried to find the section in the "Body",
section O the would tell me how to take out the "vent" window assembly. No
luck.  not there.

Can anybody either tell me where it is in the manual, or if it  actually
isn't there, how to get the A-frame vent window assemblies  out?

Thanks in advance,
