I started with this link, but I didn't want to have to mess with the paint. https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=514517&highlight=vent+windows

I sourced a pair of donor doors and used a spot rivet removing drill bit to remove the channels

Made some channel supports from the door sheetmetal, using a 1X2 piece of lumber as a buck

I decided to go with the 3M Panel Adhesive for the channel supports instead of welding

Nice job, I'm in the same boat but still in the early stages of the build. I will weld mine back in. I found very nice doors for my 56 but they were made into the one piece glass . I want the vent windows back in them.
