Re: stiff vent windows ?

I would say it would be in your best interest to remove the door panel. The pivot springs, as you can see better in the pic, are most likely getting rusty. You will want to lube there and at the top, where it pivots also.

Re: stiff vent windows ?

^Agreed! I forced my drivers open and the pivot broke off at the bottom. I ended up replacing the door because it was filled with bondo. For some reason the vent window on the square suburbans are a breeze.
