This is one of the best and most detailed videos on vent window repair on the entire internet, maybe the world if Ford doesn’t have a training video buried in a file cabinet somewhere. Thanks for helping me replace these seals to keep the rain outside where it belongs!!
It would have been a great video if you had a camera that moved around. A lot of the time you were doing things off camera. That said I still liked the video and saved it to my 93 f150 play list
Ya if only they made a reasonable oroduct to track the camera. I been getting better staying in frame though this was when I was figuring a lot out still. Thanks
@@Petersonauto YYeah i was tryrinig to put it in without anny yesterday, i also discovered that a pair of pipe wrench plyers helps a lot fo seating the bead ofo the seal into the chase!
I have a 1984 E350 that's missing the handle on the vent window. Is that a replacement the whole thing scenario, or can I pull the handle off another one at the junk yard and install it?
I bought the vent window alone. I can't find any videos of replacing only the glass. you just see videos of people like yourself replacing the whole thing. what can I put on the glass so it fan stick to the frame?? weather strip?
@@Petersonauto yea. I just wanna put the glass inside the frame. but I had put silicone before. but I put it too inward and I had a gap and air would come in. I got it broken in last week. I bought another glass. but idk what to put inside the frame to hold the glass there. I'm trying to find videos but no luck
John Schindler I didn’t do the glass to frame seal. Those suck. They get hard and usually break the glass. But you can carefully pry the glass out. A heat gun will soften the seal and it’s a butyl Rubber type seal
dude same. my vent window cracked. I bought a new one and I just took off all the cracked glass with the seal. I might just put jb weld silicone and see if it works. no one has put video of it. they just show how to replace the whole vent.
R Romero ya your basically buying a new frame see the adhesive is stronger than the frame and well there in lies the issue but install of new glass in new frame is easy just put in adhesive push together and clean up
Depends the handle is held on to a metal shaft with a roll pin if the shaft broke you need to take the whole assembly out if just the plastic you could punch out the pin
@@hunterbrown3287 I think once truck sells the whole assembly but any decent glass shop can get old out and new back in without damage or pay for a replacement if they break if
Somebody broke my vent glass, I have the glass, but I can’t find the seal that goes on the glass. Any idea where to get that?? It is t the seal you replaced in this video. It is the one that is just on the glass.

BIG BIG THANKS MAN !
Your welcome always glad to help
I wish yu showed how to put te seal back on. Gettting it off was easy.
Which seal?
@@Petersonauto the seal that goes inside the wing window Its incredibly difficult to get back in
!
@@internetguy1260 ya a little lube goes a long way with that one. Lithium grease or graphite is best

Good job 👍
you kept it real 😂 thank you
Lol I try my best
Thank you

Iirc that year has a roll pin holding them in. If the shaft is still there then you should be able to replace just the handle
@@Petersonauto thank you. No shaft, but I think I may have found an entire assembly aftermarket.
@@gingerjolley9027 ya no shaft you need at least the glass and frame assembly then
Pb blaster bro
That nut with the spring twisted and snapped the stud on bottom of my window now I’m screwed why would they use cheap shit for that
What type of glue/sealant would you use to replace the glass in the frame for the wind wing? Thank you.
They sell a hardening urathane for it. Most glass shops carry it may need to ask them what product they use I forget the specific one
there is a special glass tape available from many vendors, it keeps the glass properly centered
I bought the vent window alone. I can't find any videos of replacing only the glass. you just see videos of people like yourself replacing the whole thing. what can I put on the glass so it fan stick to the frame?? weather strip?
You want to hold the weatherstrip to the glass and frame? You could use weatherstrip adhesive but it’s a press fit from factory
@@Petersonauto yea. I just wanna put the glass inside the frame. but I had put silicone before. but I put it too inward and I had a gap and air would come in. I got it broken in last week. I bought another glass. but idk what to put inside the frame to hold the glass there. I'm trying to find videos but no luck
@@Petersonauto yea looks factory sealed. on the frame
@@rromero1091 it’s a rubber seal. Some glass shops can get them kinda hard to find
@@Petersonauto ohh ok. I'll try to find a window place.
so, how do you put the glass in, that is what I was looking for. Is there another video?
John Schindler I didn’t do the glass to frame seal. Those suck. They get hard and usually break the glass. But you can carefully pry the glass out. A heat gun will soften the seal and it’s a butyl Rubber type seal

Is there a way to replace JUST the handle without taking it out like this?
Depends the handle is held on to a metal shaft with a roll pin if the shaft broke you need to take the whole assembly out if just the plastic you could punch out the pin
how involved is it to take the seal off that is wrapped around the glass itself?
It’s tough usually cracks the glass. And frame can bend too
@@Petersonauto got any idea where can I order new glass with that small frame attached?
@@hunterbrown3287 I think once truck sells the whole assembly but any decent glass shop can get old out and new back in without damage or pay for a replacement if they break if

How about keeping the subject of discussion in frame?
That is a wonderful suggestion I will push it towards the productions office for their consideration
Wow all that just to put the glass in,damn I wish I can get those idiots that broke my glass to do this .
