    Vent window latch repair...?

     



    The latch on my drivers door vent window on my 51 chevy is completely broken off and missing. Is there a way to fix this or do I need to buy a new vent window frame?


    Here is a picture of the latch that is supposed to be there.

    Looks like a trip to the local boneyard is in your future. Those Chevys are common enough a good used one should be easy to find.

    Well that was a good lead, and good prices.....BUT...Dont have for my
    year ....They suggested getting it from a parts car.....But the good news is I found the entire vent window on ebay, but I also got an offer from a
    member on another forum to give me one if I pay the shipping.... So hopfully it will get fixed one way or the other...
