Some of the new relays have an extra tooth on the shaft! I had that problem with a rebuild kit.

where do I ordert those rivets.

Hey Jerry my doors are missing the window guides how is the top held in ?

Do you have a link for the screws you used in the felt channel? Also the screws you used on the felt on the inner window trim you used in the other video? Thanks for your help

where can I by the tool for the r\ivets

Excellent!

Very helpful! Do you happen to know where I might be able to get the vent window handle posts at? Both my vent window handles were not attached and the post they attach to are gone.

How do you install new rivet for window roller at the bottom of door windows?

great video really helped alot the only ? I have my vent windows are all black what color black should they be gloss, semi gloss or what thanks for any help

What was that vise you used to pinch those rivets together?

Having hard time finding #4 x 3/8 self tapping screws that you used. Can you help.

How do you attach the felt window channel.

very helpfull.

way cool!

Jerry, thanks for the step by step installation procedures. It has kept me from pulling my hair out. I used felt channel from a local distributor but it is cloth backed and has been impossible to form in the corner. On the filling station site there looks to be a choice of two different felt channels. One is 8 ft and the other is 5ft I think. I didn't see a reference number for the felt channel in the video parts numbers.

Have a 1948 GMC truck .. passenger door wont open.. there is a door lock below the handle .. I do not have any keys .. but been trying to get that door open and not sure how the door mech works .. if the key door lock will allow the interior handle to unlock the door or not or if you have to open the key lock first before the door will open .. Kind of scratching my head on that one

Super video !! Merry Christmas !!

I know this is an old video, but if anybody finds a good solution to removing the bottom vent window post that is completely rusted shut.

What are the big rivet pliers you used called ? I can't seem to find those exact ones

Wish you were here, I would turn my project over to you.

Thank you so much for the video ! It isn't the easiest task but you helped me get through with no real problems ! I am working on my 1955 series 1 Chevy truck. Thanks again for the informative video !

Thanks Jerry, your efforts gave me the knowledge and confidence to rebuild the vent windows on my 1982 Jeep Wagoneer!

Jerry, hay man sure glad your doing these. I do need some help please. I'm putting in the new vent window from a single glass. where do get the bracket for the post, or do I have to make one. thanks Kurt

Brilliant video. This channel is a great resource when you're fixing things & got stumped. I actually had a bit of trouble finding oversize hinge pins & was about to make something. This is better. Jerry, if I was a sculpter I'd start on statue of you. Great work & you went to an awful lot of trouble of making it perfectly understandable & you left nothing behind. Hitting subscribe as a result of you making good sense, good information & explained perfectly. Ya Nailed it!!!

Just excellent!..just have to learn how to get the door off.

Thank you for sharing...

Hi Jerry. I recently removed my vent window assembly on my 1952 Chevy Truck to rebuild and add new seals. The vent window T post was so rusted the nut stripped off along with stripping the threads on the post. The post is rusted bad. Im having a hard time finding a replacement vent window t post. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

I have one of the bottom bolts on the vent window run channel, that will not come out. Do you have any suggestions?

Jerry, this entire door series is a tremendous help to me as I restore my 47 GMC. Thank you.

May I have the part number for The Filling Station's Door Seal Rubber back felt

Can I put the springs in after the pin is in? My pins are frozen and I just want to add the springs but the springs aren’t reaching the hole

I had the same problem with the hinge pin sliding out and making it impossible to get the bottom hinge out of the frame. Can't remember how I got it out, but it took an entire day. Basically I just used a lot of brute force and every tool I could get ahold of.

Not sure how you did this so easily and the window works effortlessly. I fought mine for 2 hours and the window is extremely hard to roll up, i cant get it to move more than 2 inches up. What do I need to do differently.

What a well made AWESOME Video !!!!!! Thank You for making it Jerry. I have a 1953 Chevrolet Panel Truck I just got in September of 2022. One of the many things that need restored is the vent windows. The price that I saw quoted below was $225. a pair plus parts and shipping back to me,is that still that price ? Also when you restore a pair for others do you sandblast and paint the frames with that black Commercial Performance Coating that you used in the Video ? I would like to have the green tinted vent window glass.

Just did this yesterday. I used the same staple holes , drilled out to 5/64 and made new staples out of mechanics wire.

Thanks Jerry, while you are in rebuild mode on the vent windows, can you also show how to replace the spring in the door relay behind the handle shaft. I just bought a pair from the filling station

Nice job

Hi Jerry, thank you for the videos they are such a big help! I have a 52 gmc and this is my first restoration so these videos are a wealth of knowledge for me. I do have one question about the door alignment, my doors were removed by the painter but when he put them back on they stick out from the latch down. It’s lined up everywhere very nicely but they stick out pretty far. How can I get them back in? I appreciate any help you may be able to give. Thanks.

I enjoyed the vet window information I have a 50 tboo Chevy COE that I need windows and all the seals and weather stripping could you tell me the company that you prefer to use for these after market parts

can you rebuilt two 68 c10 vent windows for me i have the rubber seal for them they are chrome so no painting . thank you.

Had Jerry redo my vent windows a couple of years ago. Just now putting them into the truck. Excellent job and I highly recommend his work. Do yourself a favor and let him rebuild yours. You will only wonder why you tried it when you get into these windows. Take my advice.

Just watched this video while disassembling my vent windows. Everything exactly as described, hard brittle rubber and areas of rust. So helpful thank you. Now just have to put everything back together again… Thanks again for a great tutorial

excellent video, very help full with complete video

Great info. However prior to 1950 the trucks didn’t not have the vent window and the forward glass window seal support looks like the rear channel but is welded at bottom to somewhat hat shaped support onto which the vertical channel is welded. Our 1948 glass window forward channel was busted and once stubby portion remained welded to the lower support. We got a replacement channel which comes with the lower support, however, that lower support can only be installed if you cut the doors inner panel. So we mfg a nut plate. Drilled the existing lower support and fastened the vertical support to lower existing support with ⅜” hex head screws. 😊

Great! This helped us with our 1948 Chevy pickup, short bed. Our hinges were extremely hard to remove the pins. Pins were frozen and the only way to remove them was drilling the core of the pins in steps. That said we had to cut the pins just between the support and the hinge arm, destroyed the washers that are welded between the arm and support that take up the gaps since the support inner spread is greater than the arm thickness (arm is about 1.5 inches, the support inner spread is about 2.3 inches.) Upon assembly I cut and shaped two .400” shims and installed one on either side of arm. The shims will be bolt hole aligned and sport welded to the support inner surface.

Thank you, I'm not sure I could have done it without you.

How do you remove that outer window trim

Jerry, I’ve been having a heck of a time with my windows. Question - I’m assuming the roller straddles the sheet metal on the c-channel as opposed to riding all the way in the channel, correct.

Great video, I sent my 1954 1300 series truck to a shop for a paint job.....Long story short, it came back worse than when it went in. Now I have to start from scratch and do the front fenders and hood all over again. Do you have a vid that shows how to start this up? I think i have to float the fenders and hood to get it inline.

need a link for those no.4 self tappers
