I haven't done any work to my vent windows or driver and passenger glass yet so before I take everything apart, I want to post some questions that some of you guys who have done this work before can answer. Q1. I'm wondering how the window sweeper gets installed. I bought an 8 foot piece of it from Roberts (T66B). DCM has it in stock too RW-175), but the parts manual picture on page 492 doesn't use the term "window sweeper" anywhere so I'm not exactly sure where it goes or what holds it in place? Q2. How is the steel channel (23-09-52) that fits along the bottom of the side window glass cushioned from the glass? My originals look like a rubber packing or filler of some kind is wedged in between the glass and the channel. Is there a source for this filler? Q3. What cushions the vent window glass from the frame (23-64-49)? My vent windows have a rubber filler material between the frame and the glass. Is there a source for that? Q4. There's also a rubber filler material between the division bar (23-64-6) and the side glass. Is there a source for this stuff too?

So I've almost got the cab stripped for blasting. Busted the bottom edge off of one of the dash pot metal bezels so I guess I'll be ordering a replacement! It was cracked anyway... No such thing as a dumb question... First: How do you release the catch to operate the fresh air vent? I can reach underneath and push the spring latch and then use the handle to open it...but it looks like there was some type of cable hooked to the release catch at one point. It was disconnected when I got it so nothing to go by. Is it supposed to have a cable to one of the knobs on the dash? Mine were all cracked and trashed. PS - who sells replacement switches and knobs and bezels? Second question: How do you get the fresh air vent off so you can replace the rubber seal after painting? Those bolts look really difficult to reach. Do you have to unbolt the two pivot bolts on the ends and unbolt the two center bolts to the arm that operates it? That is how it looks to me, but if anyone has a better way I'd love to hear it! Lastly: Any repop windshield wiper bezels where they bolt to the cowl? Mine are totally pitted and I'd like to replace them and the rubber base grommet if someone supplies new ones. BTW - My truck came with a vacuum wiper but I'll be replacing with 12v electric. Thanks for any input fellas!!! JT
