    I see that the vent pivot rivets sold by the host do not apply to 1960-63. Before I make a mess of things, I wanted to ask if anyone has remove the vent window from the frame to replace the seal. Also, do I just cut the head of the rivet that is exposed through the vent window frame ?
    I would appreciate any advice.Thank you for your help

    1961 vent pivot rivet

    Thank you very much for the link. Now I see the difference between the design of the 1960-63 and the 64-66. The upper pivot on mine is a pin that attaches to the glass frame and goes straight up through the vent assembly frame. The 64-66 has an actual rivet attaching to tabs together. I can't figure out how to get the vent window out of the frame/division channel. It appears the frame enclosing the vent is riveted to the division channel. Unfortunately, I don't have to computer know how to post a picture. Thank you for the help.

    1961 vent pivot rivet

    I got it apart. At the top of the vent frame where it attaches to the division post, there is one small screw that I found earlier. There is one rivet and that screw that needs to be removed. Then I was able to lift up the frame enough to get the pin attached to the vent window frame out.
