Since the tall windshield rubber seals in the wing windows are a FULL seal....I bought a new set to X-acto on for the rotation of the vent glass as it twists 180*. It'll be a good trial fit.
I picked up a set of spare wing windows and frames (68-70) to test some thoughts out on. If tempered glass doesn't respond well to being diamond ground ( for the swivel mount), then things just became much more involved.

Dean, if you are reading this thread....let me know your thoughts on the rubber seal surround design. Even though the color of black might be to wet looking, I was thinking a silicone seal would last more robustly as well as seal wind noise better.

I love the journey of Conekillers car. I was so saddened to hear of his passing recently. :(

I went back through the whole thread you linked to and didn't see any reference to wing windows or mods to them? Did you see something?
