So last Thursday I got the Driver vent window rebuilt. What a Pain in the ass that was. My fingertips are all still hurting.
First job was getting these factory style rivets into this metal impregnated seal.

I had to use a drill bit to help guide it in.

Next was fitting the outside seal into its frame. I didn't take any pictures other than this but this is the reason for my fingers hurting. Took a good 30 minutes and some soapy water to get it fully seated.

Next was fitting the glass back into its frame using original style rubber cork glass setting tape.

Use electrical tape so when you trim it you can't see the tape.

Was actually easier than I thought it was going to be.

Used an Exacto knife to trim off the excess.

Still need to set the rivet that goes in the window hinge. I want to test fit in the door first to make sure everything lines up.

Front fender parts out of the paint shop and ready to have the rubber assembled on them. I will be using some heavy gauge coated wire instead of staples.
