Getting the frame into door, or the frame assembly itself?

Frame assembly itself. I took the whole thing apart and want to make sure it's going back right.

It's somewhat straightforward but I recall them being riveted together so will require a new rivet or screw in the lower frame rail.
Here are some sites/info; that may be of help.

1967 Fisher Body Manual.
A-Body Vent window info; starts on Pg 6-45
http://www.thefirstgensite.com/libra...67S6P22_86.pdf

This is a decent write up at Hagerty.
More about the glass replacement but may offer some help.

I don't have any loose vent window frame assemblies on hand but may be able to offer any assist with ones on the cars.

They are bolted together. The GM one just shows how to get the assembly into the car and the Haggarty has partial information. Thanks on posting those. I am having some trouble in getting the vent window and frame to sit in the center of the frame. It sit a little crooked in it. The top is too close to the chrome frame.

Once bolted together all should line up , unless the top vent glass frame pin is bent .

I found a place that sells all of the vent wing special rivets and the tool to press them into the finished shape. Check out www.fillingstation.com


Their prices are very reasonable.
