I have installed 55 1st doors in my 1950 deluxe cab. I want the vent
windows. Altho the doors fit in the hole rather well, I have had poor luck
getting the doors to latch properly even after getting the right striker
plates. Meanwhile, I am completely refurbishing the ventiplane assembly with
new rubber, rivets and hardware. I am ready to install the passenger side
vent assembly, but the door glass is also out of the door. Do I need to keep
the vent assembly loose until I am ready to install the door glass? Or can I
safely install the door glass with a completely installed vent assembly?

I had vent windows 20 years ago in my 54 and there is nothing nicer on a hot
day than flipping those vents wide open and having the air rush in to cool
you off. Except for air conditioning of course!
