Upper Pivot Hinge - Vent Window

[Ches7911]

I will probably kick myself if someone attaches a link to an old thread on this topic, but be thankful they did at the same time.

I have been pouring through recent and archived threads to see if anyone has attempted and succeeded on an upper pivot hinge repair on their vent windows. Not just a replacement rivet, but actually repairing/replacing the broken hinge. I have a set of windows that are in fairly good shape, but I have managed to break both window's upper pivot hinges.

Any suggestions on how I can salvage these windows?

I'm hoping for an answer to this question too, I have the same issue. Can't wrap my head around buying the whole assembly just because of that stupid hinge. Epoxy doesn't work BTW

Agreed - there are a lot of well versed members on this forum, I'm waiting on of the gurus to pop on here and say "bite the bullet and buy new....or good luck and make sure to share the post and pics when you figure it out!" ha!

did you get the ones in the classifieds? I never heard back from that guy (after his initial reply) or are these the ones you were looking to replace? i think my passenger vent window may be missing the top piece as well

No never got a reply back on those. This repair is for my current windows. I was thinking of trying to buy a good set off someone - but looks like I may have to just repair mine

I thought I saw that Delconick was selling restored vent windows. Not sure if he sells the parts needed, but may be worth a PM or call to him to discuss
