Default Vent photos requested

These photos are of the area where the vent window frame is secured to the inside door fiberglass

Driver side

Passenger side
I was not able to capture the angle well but it appears that the hole in the vent will result in a notch in the glass rather than a hole. I had to rebuild these areas in the past because they were damaged. Does anyone have a good photo of the area showing the relationship of the hole in the fiberglass with respect to the threaded vent hole. I realize I may have to alter and reglass the area. Thank you all in advance.

The passenger side photo helps. What happened to the hole and screw on the driver side? Thank you!

That’s a good question. I guess the painter covered it up in the repair. Here is a pic before. What does that bolt go to?

Had the door panels off on my car a few weeks ago and I should have refreshed my memory more as I looked right at that. But I think the bolt helps anchor the vent frame rigidly. I don't believe it provides any form of adjustment but I have a coupe - not sure about convertible.

Well done. Being a fellow retired oral surgeon, I use lots of dental materials and especially dental hand instruments. My friends used to laugh at me, but then they started asking where they could get items like I had.
