Hi,

Question, I replaced the horizontal seal on my vent windows many years =
ago and did remove the window. To replace the =
=E2=80=9Ctriangular=E2=80=9D rubber seal around the vent window can I =
just remove the old one and stuff the new one in, or do I need to remove =
the window again?   Thanks=20

  The pivot bolt passes through the rubber seal. Its nut and spring are =
underneath. While you --might-- be able to undo them from inside the doo=
r (I forget details) it would be best that you use penetrating oil gener=
ously on the nut so the bolt is not broken.   I removed the entire frame=
 for the job, as that gave opportunity to clean and lubricate winder mec=
hanism, adjust the channels, etc.  Ask for current recommendations for t=
he rubber. Five or six years ago when I did it, the rubber supplied by o=
ne vendor was, at best, an approximate fit. It is cracking and splitting=
 now, so the replacement is to be anticipated this coming winter.Bob

Ditto Bob.  If the nut comes undone without snapping the pivot pin (not =
nut) then yes it is possible to remove the vent window with the =
quarter-light in-situ.  But the pivot pin and nut are between two small =
holes for the securing nuts, the pivot is pointing forwards, and the =
nearest large access hole is below and behind it and the long leg of the =
frame is in the way.  With the vent out it is just a matter of stuffing =
the new seal in as you say and refitting the vent.  If you snap the =
pivot pin you have to remove the glass from the vent, so best avoided.
