<VV> late model vent window rubber installation?

[Michael Kovacs]

 Ray,
I never did that restoration, but I know you will probably have to remove the 
entire vent window assembly in order to separate the seal from the metal frame. 
This will definitely require the interior door panels and the handles to be 
removed too. You'll probably destroy the paper water barrier inside the door to 
do this. carefully note the position of the hardware that holds the vent assy in 
position, so you can duplicate it at re installation.

Warning. if you never worked inside the doors, the sheet metal openings are 
SHARP. I'd suggest you wrap some tape around the edges to prevent cuts.

Has anyone here ever installed new vent window seals on a late model car?  I 
think I'm going to be doing mine pretty soon and was hoping to benefit from 
someone elses experience.  How difficult is it?, any tips to help me get it 
done?

I'm currently installing fatmat in the car but I think I have to take the doors 
apart to do this job correct?  If that is the case I need to leave the fatmat 
off the doors until after I do the seals.

Thanks
