    I broke the springs on the side vent on my 48 3100. Does anyone know where I can get a set? Or a new door with the springs?

    TIA

    We have a milk crate full of those side vents.
    Shoot us a PM for more info.

    Soak down the nut with penetrating oil before you even start to wrench on it. Grab the stud below the window and hold it firmly with pliers or a wrench. It is very easy to twist the stud out of the bottom of the window frame when cranking down on the rusted nut, ask me how I know!
