    Has anyone ever had to remove the vent window on the passenger door? My kid dropped a pamphlet down the window - it fell into the vent window and its sitting between the two pains of glass. Need get it out cause its blocking the view. I'm a little nervous about trying to pop it out without a few pointers. Would really appreciate any tips.
    G'day.

    The one on the interior side should be the easiest one to remove.Not sure what kind of rubber gasket it has but if its a solid rubber gasket with no split in the length of it then try using a small screwdriver with "light pressure" on the outer edges until you work it loose.Dont try to remove the glass without the gasket.

    removing the vent window is actually vary simple, just take a small screw driver and gently insert it under the rubber gasket on the outside and work the rubber around a little until you can get it under the first pain of glass then gently pry and pull it out. putting it back in is pretty easy too. my dads 379 has been broken into by someone doing this, atleast they didnt break any thing tho
