Re: vent window woes

I got everything installed last night except the felts which are due tomorrow. Everything works as expected...wow...that was easy . It really isn't too bad when you know what your're doing and the parts work right. The rubber was obviously better from CP and I think the rivets worked better too. I didn't have any slop in the pivot rivet from CP. I really hate the trial & error of the reproduction parts. They are not all made equal. I hope this thread will help other avoid my hassles. Unfortunately, I don't think there is any one go-to vendor of everything.

The window I replaced had grey glass so that's what we put back in. It isn't as dark as the tinted glass on the rest of the burb, so I will probably get it tinted after I do the other windows. I tried tinting the new one last night but I could never get it clean enough and it peeled off when I installed it back into the door. That's a job the pros do cheap & better IMO.

Is grey glass standard? Or green or clear?
