Vent window question

[British Slave]

Sometime before I bought my Blazer, someone either tried to break in or the PO locked his keys in it. They pried open the drivers vent window, breaking the roll pin in the latch assembly and bending the vent window frame between the vent and the main window. I bought another good frame, now I need to know what are the chances of saving my weatherstrip from the original vent window? It's in great condition where the "new" frame weatherstrip is really not usable. Can I remove the weatherdtrip without destroying it? Or do I order a replacement?

Ive had bad luck with trying to remove weatherstriping to reuse. The weatherstripping on that wing window you got from me actually came off of another door and you can see how that turned out for me.

I suggest giving it a shot though. It might save you some money and worse case is you'll end up having to buy some new.

Oh yeah, I'll try. My weatherstrip is still like new. My problem is the frame is bent and won't let the power window go up without holding the top of it to be sure it stays in the channel.
