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.<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><img border="0" width="384" height="510" style="width: 4in; height: 5.3166in;" id="m_2989166162729792294Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:ii_1935e9bd6d64ce8e91"><u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">So my question is, what is the "right" way to do this.
