What did you do to your 2002 today !

[Mark92131]

When I purchased my 1600, the vent window frames were pretty rough (pitted and scratched), so I sourced a better used set from @FunElan.  For some reason, the driver's side vent window glass was tinted, and the passenger side had clear glass.  Now that I am deep into the door restoration, it was time to replace the tinted vent window glass with a clear one.

 

I bought new gaskets and glass from Wallothnesh and used the tip I saw on the FAQ for removing the wing window from the vent window frame.  I took a piece of conduit, some washers and a threaded M6 hook I found on Amazon to pull the wing window down enough to clear the pin on the hinge.  I came out without too much drama.  The gaskets turned out to be in fine shape, so I cleaned them up, switched the glass and reinstalled the vent window into the frame.

 

Now waiting on parts to reassemble the rest of the door innards.

@Mark92131 I had the same issue changing out the glass in mine. The originals had some scratches, so swapped them out, but noticed the old ones were tinted blue like the door glass. I swapped them back to the originals and am dealing with the scratches. The clear ones I have are in great shape. Let me know if you’d be interested in them. DM me.

Friendly reminder to check the bolt holding your distributor down 

Damn Logan — that could surely explain all the strange issues you’ve had with your timing…

 

Glad you found it.
