[Tigers] vent window won't come out

[Ron Fraser]

Jim
	Excellent catch, I did not remember that the top screw at the front
of the vent window went into the door.

This is why I state that everyone needs to document, write up and take
pictures of these procedures for everyone's benefit.
If we don't do these tech tips; no one will.

Hi Jim,

there are 3 screws you need to remove the vent window.

1. - the one you can see inside the car on the chrome base finisher

2. - open the door and look at the front of the vent window. you will 
see a chrome tab which is part of the vent window base and sticks out 
towards the outer side of the door, its rounded cornered and has a cross 
head screw in it. Remove this screw.

3 -. - again on the front of the vent window, there are 2 screws that 
screw in form the front edge of the vent window frame. Bottom one goes 
into the vent window chrome base and the top one goes right through into 
the door.
Remove the top one - flat driver.

The vent window will now pull straight upwards out of the door.

There is a step in the vent window chrome upright where the glass moves, 
this can sometimes catch the steel door skin just under where the cut 
our is in the put window rubber. check to see if this is catching.

the chrome vent window sits into the top of the steel runner in the door 
with a clip on the outside but this is mostly for location and does not 
fix it to the lower runner.

If you are still struggling, drop me a note and I will send you some 
photos as I have a couple of loose doors and vent windows.
