Thank you for making this video (and part 2, the install). I have an MGB and need to replace the triangular-shaped rubber seal (a.k.a. gasket) around the vent window. Seeing the steps you took make me more confident that I will be able to do that job. My question is: can I do this without removing the entire quarter light assembly from the door frame? From watching your video I get the impression that I could do it in the following way: Remove the door panel to get access to the spring-loaded stud. Remove the nut and spring from this stud, with the quarter light still mounted in the door (as shown from 12:30 onward). Then remove the vent window from the quarter light. Now I have access to the rubber seal and can replace it (which I couldn't see in detail in your video). Then re-assemble in reverse sequence. Would this work, or am I overlooking something?
Sorry I haven't responded to this yet. You might be able to do it that way. I remember having a tough time pressing the window into the seal so that might be tricky without removing the frame from the car. Let me know if it works out for you.
Thank you for the step by step, it definitely made the job easier on my 67 MK1 MGB.
Regards Royce.
My pleasure, happy to help.

Can you tell me what service manual you are using

Hello, could you please tell me how to open the bolts of the vent .
I'm not sure what part you are referring to. Could you send a picture to jrs.garage.mgc(@)gmail.com?
What service manual is that? And where did you get it?

Not Philips. All Pozi Driv. Using a Philips on Pozi heads will strip them out.
Thanks for the correction.
Use a piece of tape instead of sharpy. My marks rubbed off.
Thanks for the tip.
