Vent window assembly process

OK I'll start a thread for rebuilding the 60-63 vent windows

I striped out the old rubber by use of a flat thin screwdriver. Once the rubber is out,check all the rivet hole for damage. I then checked the frames for used glue,which I removed with a soft rag and some acetone. After I masked off the chrome window lock area, I sand blasted the frames and check again for hidden adhesive. The frames are over sized and hard to position in a stand SB cabinet, so it takes a creative mind.

I primed with Martin Senior Green self-etching primer, the top coat is Martin Senior Gloss Black, both can be found at NAPA, here is a hint,when you are finished with the paint, turn the can upside down and spray a bit or so you clear the tip, (I always save this tips in case you get a bad one).

I will try to install the rubber today and will let you know how it goes

does the rivet go in from this side? Seems like the tail will be in the channel
