Renegade Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 On this subject, is it possible to swap in a vent window assembly? My truck doesn't have them but I picked up a set of doors that do.(mine are rigid & do not open) I was just gonna repaint the doors & swap them out, but if a window swap is possible then.......

bhorocks Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 yes you can swap them out. I did with some from an xj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 yeah, there is a pin, no allen screw. i can't remember the correct name for this type of pin, but i think you're correct to push that out and that probably allows you to spin off the latch handle. then just replace it with a new one. i think it's just called a pressure pinion. still would like to hear from someone who knows for sure before i go hacking it trying that.

It's called a rolled drift pin and you need the correct punch to drive it out. It's either 1/8" or 1/16". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 Cool, thanks! Pressure pinion? WTH did I come up with that? Tension pin is what I've heard them referred as before. Now I know the real deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Just be sure to provide some support like a block of wood under the latch and use a small hammer to tap it out with the drift punch. Don't ask how I know this...... :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WahooSteeler Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 Renegade, sent you a PM. Not sure if it went through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Got it. Pm returned. Thanks Stumpy. I may need some of your parts as well.I need to look at them again because I think the pass. side was siliconed shut & the handle was missing. I didn't care because the price was right & I just wanted to open the drivers side vent to get some air in during summer....although I haven't given up on breathing life back into the a/c system yet. I probably won't mess with it again until the weather warms up, like next June ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
