To get the best results I took everything apart as much as I could. When it came time to put things back together I had a little problem with the pins that hold the vent window latches together. I think I used a small nail or maybe some welding rod, but whatever I used has fallen out. In the photo below I have circle the parts that need to be pinned together.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><img width=384 height=510 style='width:4.0in;height:5.3125in' id="_x0000_i1025" src="cid:image002.jpg@01DB3DC9.7ECA2760" alt="Hardtop vent window.jpg"><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>So my question is, what is the "right" way to do this. Like I said, I tried something like a nail or welding rod but whenever I tried to peen over the ends, the pin would buckle in the middle. I tried using a press and tapping with a small hammer. But there must be a right way to do this.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Help,<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Joe Brown<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></body></html>
