1967 Chevelle vent window restoration

- Removing the vent window glass on a 1967 Chevelle/El Camino. Replacing the glass and weather stripping isn't too difficult a task, but there is VERY little info on how to do it. I searched Team Chevelle, Google and some other muscle car forums looking for a "how to" write up or video and came up empty.
As I mentioned in the video, just take your time. Working with glass isn't the easiest thing in the world for someone who isn't very patient, but it can be done.
I tried several different products that were recommended to me in forums and in the searches I did prior to starting on this. NONE of them worked very well, or perhaps I am not experienced enough in the installation of them. I found a local glass shop that does some muscle car installs and he used a product that he said is only available to professionals. No clue what that is/was, but it turned out perfect! In the future, I don't think I'd attempt what I did. Just take it to a pro and save a lot of time, money and effort.

Got lucky...weatherstrip was in great shape. All I needed was a clean-up and replace glass. After multiple passes with a razor and a heat gun the old glass was easily removed. My glass pro advised using urethane sealer instead of the tape...worked out wonderful. Trick was to let the urethane set-up and later trim excess with a razor.
looking good man
I can't wait to see what you've got in store for us
I have a problem on my chevelle 67 front door window mechanism I can't make it stop I dont know what I am doing wrong I already install the 2 window stop but I dont know why it's not stopping I buy a new opgi door I dont know what I am missing
Great video, where did you get the new springs and nuts for the pivot shaft?
OPGi
Where did you find the new spring? Thanks.
The weld on my spring stud is broke. could you share the name of the "expert" you used to install your glass and moulding? I have new moulding frm Steele and don't want to fight it either.. Great video Thanks
@@MuscleCarSolutions Thanks for the info.. There are not any small shops in my area. If you have the name of the shop you used, I can ship it to them easy enough
Did you make a video on how to remove the vent window assembly from the door?
@@MuscleCarSolutions thanks for your prompt reply. I have found no videos other than mention to remove the three fasten pointes and there was no need to remove the main window in order to remove the vent. I have removed the two bolts in the jam and the nut in the panel yet I still cant get the window out
@@MuscleCarSolutions no I did not. Read somewhere online it was not necessary. So I'm guessing I'll be taking the windows out also
Did you use steel or aluminum rivets?
the 67 chevelle vent window upper pin in video is not the same style as elcamino
Yes. Chevelle and el Camino wing windows are different in a few ways. Same process applies to either.
