1971 Chevy C10 - One Piece Window Conversion Kit Install - Room To Vent

To remove it you need to grind away the two rivets holding it on. We mounted it snug in the vise and ground down the heads of both rivets. After grinding down both rivets, tap them out with a hammer.

Once you have the mount ground off, measure up from the bottom 19 inches and cut off the top of the channel. We cut ours in a vertical bandsaw, but you could also use a Sawzall, hacksaw or cutoff wheel.

The two small aluminum mounting brackets included in the kit need to be taped together to keep them in place for the installation. It doesn't matter what type of tape you use as long as it holds. Simply line up the holes and tape together as shown.

Attach the taped bracket to the original mount on the window track as shown.

The extra piece needs to be toward the door.

Here is what the track should look like ready to be installed in the vehicle.

Slide the track in the same way it was removed and attach it in the front hole through the one in the provided mount. The weatherstripping will hold the upper portion in once installed.

By deinstalling the door, you can best perform the following task. To make alignment much easier when reinstalling, we decided to mark out the door hinge with a Sharpie first. If you have nice paint, you'll want to skip this step and take your time realigning the door!

Remove the door from the truck and lay it on a surface where you can work on it.
