Vent Window DIY fixes


Recommended Posts

Both of my vent windows have now suffered the same fate of that bottom rivet, specifically that black rod, connecting the window to the door completely rusting out and breaking in half. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with a DIY fix without fabricating/rebuilding that mounting? Or would a full window replacement be the best way to go otherwise? Attached isn't my picture. No AC or vent windows in the Texas summer is going to get old quite fast, so I'm willing to try even the jankiest fixes. My jeep has had its fair share of them.
