How to remove vent windows?

My vent windows are a bit rusty around the outside, I'd like to remove them and take care of that, but how do I do it?

You have to remove the main window to get the vent window out.
Remove the inner door skin and roll the window most but not all the way down.
Remove 2 screws on the forward leading edge of the vent window under the door seal and 1 below the vent window lock.
Pull the top of the vent window frame to the rear.
Reach into the door and slide the main window glass off the regulator arm, and remove from the door
Pull the seal from the main window channel attached to the vent window frame
Now turn the vent window frame 90 degrees and remove it from the door.

do not cut your hand on sharp metal when reaching in the open door panel.

do one side at a time and leave the other open to see how everything connects.

someone on this forum had the window come down and cut him bad.

Ah geez. Maybe I'll see if I can fix it on the truck then.

Exactly--or as the low life that tried to steal my vehicle--a brick.
