Quarter panel external vent

Postby peterjohn77 » Sun Mar 09, 2008 6:22 pm

Sirs

One of my external vents on the rear quarter panal has developed an irritating internal rattle. I can find no guiance on how to access this component. I have recently replaced my headlining et al and this did not reveal any access or attachments from the inside. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Peter

Peter,

i'm afraid your into taking some bits apart, the black trim with the vents in is riveted to the body and within the glass recess,

the chrome has to come off all around the rear quarter light, and then the rubber and glass have to come out, once out you will see the rivets holding the vent

the rattle is coming from one of the baffle plates behind the vent that drop off ,
