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.
