[Mgs] triangular vent window seal replacement

[mgbob at juno.com]

  The pivot bolt passes through the rubber seal. Its nut and spring are underneath. While you --might-- be able to undo them from inside the door (I forget details) it would be best that you use penetrating oil generously on the nut so the bolt is not broken.   I removed the entire frame for the job, as that gave opportunity to clean and lubricate winder mechanism, adjust the channels, etc.  Ask for current recommendations for the rubber. Five or six years ago when I did it, the rubber supplied by one vendor was, at best, an approximate fit. It is cracking and splitting now, so the replacement is to be anticipated this coming winter.Bob

Hi, Question, I replaced the horizontal seal on my vent windows many years ago and did remove the window. To replace the “triangular” rubber seal around the vent window can I just remove the old one and stuff the new one in, or do I need to remove the window again?   Thanks Dave Willner
