91 Blazer Vent window!!!

[frankc]

Hi folks,

I have searched all the posts and couild not find an answer to this issue.
Replacing the vent window rubber and have everything removed and now going to install the actual new rubber to the vent window, but to get the rubber on it looks like I have to remove the glass from the vent window frame, in 2 places where it is hard connected to the frame - 1 - down below where the spring is, so i can pull it up/out from the bottom and - 2 - the rivet on the outside which the window pivots on. The rivit would have to be drilled to slide the rubber over it and also to allow the window to be removed and slid up from the bottom.

Question - Is this correct?

Hopefully I'm just being stupid again as I would rather not drill out the rivot.!!

Thanks in advance!

Frank - btw the rubber was from LMC.

I know you are new so I am going to tell you about a feature called search, if you use it you will find a few threads dealing with the wing window seal replacement.
This was the last one that said he couldn't find anything, go down a bit where I posted a couple.

Thanks for the search tip. Hope your other thousands of replies were more useful than that.

Recommend you read before posting. As I said, I could not find the answer to my question... this means - I searched and found multiple vent window posts. They didn't answer my question, including your thread!

Hey I tried.
I didn't say you will find every answer there.

yes that is the way to swap the seal, drill the rivets for the hinge to remove the glass. The top rivet on the frame needed to come out and be reinstalled on the set I just did on a '90. It held the rubber in place , also a set from LMC.

Don't worry Ice, I still like having you around here!!!!!!!!!!
