Hello,
I can share my experience. The manuel rear vent windows pivot were broken (from my bu).
There are about two years, I decided to weld. I have not out the window its frame. I welded and the glass broken in the pieces.
Also I did the same stupidity on the second window :blam: . welding and glass are not buddy :roll:
 
good info in here , thanks guys
 
I know most of the people at Sands. Used to be their Commercial Service rep years ago. Now they do repairs and sell parts to a lot of our fleet customers in the Phoenix area.

I can get with our local Chevy dealer and go for that number. ...and ya, I figured, if I get a hot spot on the glass, it would go. I can seperate the glass from the frame, I never have, but it can't be to difficult, errr can it? The angle would be fairly easy to hit. Should I use a heat gun to soften the thirty year old adhesive?
Oh, and a couple chuckles I got. Remember I added the washer system from a like 92 Chevy van, cuz I liked the way the new squirters work? I finally got around to hooking it up. Now, I took the whole system from an 86 Monte and married it succesfully, not easily, but successfully to my old 82. After tapping into the pink washer activation line, I though WOOHOO!! Well, there must be something in the printed circuit that dislikes having that wire run through another coil, cuz I lost my intermittant wipers!! No sh*t!! I unplug the washer pump and they work again, but since the washer pump is unplugged, well, you get the picture.
So, in all of my infinite wisdom, I figger i'll just add a relay to the washer and run the feed through my cruise set button on the end of my turn sig.arm, since I don't have factory cruise. Well, I cut that wire Super short, cuz, well, I'll never need it right? So there I am, pulling wire, soldering, a few choice words, but all in all, now when I push the cruise set on my wiper arm, my windshield gets wet. AND, the intermittant wiper are fully functional.
Go back a couple weeks, I'm going over Snoqualimie pass, from Yakima to here and the snow starts to fly. It's compact snow and ice. I pride myself and my ability to just about out drive any fool I've come across, so naturally, I'm in the fast lane. Car is under fabulous control. Doing 55, converter locked up. I have a detroit locker in the rear, 700R with the bigBlock. The car goes a little, then a LOT sideways. I'm talking 90 degrees sideways, facing a new SUV in the slow lane, looking right at the guy. I'm on the throttle, off the throttle, on the throttle, incidently, my windshield was filthy, which made me fix the washers! The car goes 180 and now I'm into the guardrail, things are slowing down. I can not regain traction, because the converter is still locked up! I finally am able to reach down to the kick panel and switch off the converter and straighten the car out. WOW! Close call! SO, guys, do what I did and wire your converter enable through your existing cruise switch on your brake pedal, that way, when you hit the brakes, your converter disengages and will save your *ss in a slide!!
Now, who's got my window!!

Easy to do, yes use a heat gun, which ever way you choose, you'll have to put the pivot channel back in the frame work, before installing the window back in the channel, nothing like doing it twice 😳 .
