<VV> Replacing FC Ventilator Window Weatherstrip

[Daniel Monasterio]

Hi Ron,
   If my memory serves well, I took off the pivot rivet and removed the glass. Best way is by removing the whole assembly. Good time to replace the straight rubber (riveted) and the channel window felt too. Window felt was replaced with 1" velcro (the soft side), it worked fine for me.

> How does one install a new molded weatherstrip for a FC ventilator window?  The friction spring assembly is supposed to go through a hole in the rubber.  Should the pivot rivet be drilled out so the window can be removed or does one cut the super expensive weatherstrip on the inside so it can go around the lower pivot?  What has worked the best?  Or, am I completely missing something?
