Broken metal between window vent and window
So I'm restoring my vent windows and replacing door glass. After removing the vent I noticed the little tab of sheet metal that divided the window from the vent frame is broken and on both sides. Is there any good reason to repair this piece or can I just leave it? Anyone else have there's broken?

Re: Broken metal between window vent and window
that piece is there to keep the two parts of the door together (for the window seals-inner and outer) other wise the door will spread apart and the dew wipes won't touch the window glass. GM added a long Phillips head screw to the 1972 model year doors as a fix for this, but they still had the metal tab you have pictured. I would try and fix if possible, at least tack weld it to prevent it from spreading anymore....
