Subject:whistling vent window fix
From:Brian Tipsword

Another "whistling" point.

What I found on my 85' was the pivot pin at the bottom of the wing vent had corroded to the point that it had too much slop in it to seal firmly.  This requires a new wing window frame and pivot.

I bought both sides and am going to replace this winter.

Why this corroded; there is a drain in the wing vent frame that became plugged up over time and the water had no place to go & just rusted the frame out.

Check your frames and save having to rebuild your doors :-)
