Hey all!

I'm currently in the process of tidying up Zelda as you're probably all well aware.

I have though, come across something that is in dire need of repair and probably should have been done first as something small... I think it is a small job anyway, I hope.

I need to replace the quarter window lock thingy?
This thing.

Any hints or tips to take it off? Or do I have to remove and replace the whole assembly?

Is there 2 rivets underneath? (that's what a type3 has) drill them out then
The whole thing slides out with a bit of persuading.

they may be a bit hard. I had to take the whole 1/4 window out.🥲 as it was all a bit rusted in.🥲

car forums. where a lot of peoples good intentions end up taking a good old car off the road forever never ever to see the road again. 🥲

There are definitely two rivets underneath...

I'll give my hand at getting them out, I have a full other quarter window if I do need to just replace the whole thing, but from what I can see there is no issue with rust.
