Vent window frame question
Is it possible to bend a vent window frame?? I was replacing window seals and the DS vent window is all Caddy-Wompas.... its at least 1/2" off at the bottom. It looks like the vent window frame is twisted. I did the PS and it went together with no issues.

It's simply a metal frame pushed over the glass and held with setting tape. if it's on the glass properly it would be hard to bend without breaking the glass. but if it's lose it would be possible to bend it.

I stopped by my local hot rod shop this morning and the guys basically said..... It appears that the glass came out of the frame at some point and the PO just silicone it back together. That would explain why it was all Caddy-wompas!!! the glass was in the frame crooked and out of square, just enough to make it not close correctly. So, I dropped it off at my glass guy to see if he could separate the two and get them back together as they were designed.
