I'm taking a break from the trunk lid fitment for a few days. I have been working on the vent window assembly on and off. I got one side back together tonight. The vent post and vent window chrome (the part that holds the glass) are re-chromed pieces. Since this thing is so hard to remove and work on, I installed new glass. I polished the stainless and cleaned up the galvanized part of the frame.
Here is the before. Note the purple tint.
Here is the restored and assembled vent frame.
Unfortunately I still have the other vent window to do.
Before someone points out I have a before shot of the other side. I don't have a similar photo for the side I assembled. The original left and right vent frames were similar in condition.
