Re: [T3] disassembling the vent wing for new seal, how do you take it apart?

["Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk>]

How do i take apart the vent wing to replace the 'd'
shape inner/out seal. I'm at a stand still w/ my car
until i get these done. do i have to pop out the rivet
type peg at the pivot arm?

It's easy if you do that.  I've an idea that a small cut and re-glue at the slot
for the hinge to go through will also make it possible to remove/replace it.
It's a pity to drill out the originals and re-rivet with something a bit
different, though I used pop-rivets when I did it, and it hardly shows (punch
out the bit of mandrel left, as it will very likely rust).

I haven't seen the original style rivets around, but maybe they're still
available - any info on that, Russ?
