It's fairly common for that lower bolt to fall out of the channel, and this lets the channel come out of alignment. Make sure that you put the bolt back in with the proper spring washer so it stays put. That channel is part of the vent window frame. I hope it really isn't broken, because it really is a pain to replace. If you replace it, just replace the whole vent window/channel assembly. Check the regulator. There is a dog-leg in the arm about 1/3rd out from the pivot; that dog-leg is stiffened by a second piece and it's fairly common to see that stiffener broken off at one of the welds. If yours is broken, get it rewelded or exchange it with one of mine that I have already rewelded. Mush some grease into the works before you reinstall it. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
