I know there is a set screw on the outer/forwardmost piece of glass. Do you adjust those like the door cozy wings to get more or less air in the back? :shakehead: Or is it just for security?

I don't understand the question?

The forward half of the side glass slides rearward for open air enjoyment. The wing glass rotates by hand to direct air into the opening for even more open air enjoyment.

The quarter glass slides open but the cozy wing is either hard to move or frozen, I just didn't want to break anything if I could avoid it. I am referring all to the quarter glass, not the door glass/vent. I think you answered my question.

Yeah, the pivot points on the "cozy" wing are probably froze up. I'd try a few applications of penetrating oil and see if that helps. I'd be afraid to go straight for messing with the set screw, in fear of stripping it out.

Don't ask me how I know but, do not be drunk in the back seat of a brand new 82 Blazer with the sliding window open at 90+ mph and fling the back of that wing window forward.

@WFO there's gotta be more to THAT story, I'm askin'...........c'mon spill it!!!
Not much more to tell, except that wing window was spinnin so fast I couldn't stop it and it was making a scary screaming noise. Kind of like when you blow compressed air to dry solvent out of a wheel bearing.
I just knew it was going to launch, and was hoping if it did, it would go outside.
Finally got my buddy, (he was drunk too) to slow down enough to where I could grab it.
