There is 2 hidden bolts that are underneath the weather stripping, and 1 or 2 bolts inside the door, 1 bolt on the upper outside door frame. Take those out and pull out the frame. I didn't take pics when I did mine, so maybe someone else can post some.

5.7 is, of course, right. there are two bolts at the bottom of the door, on the outside bottom of the door, that hold the bottom of the window track in place and two at the top, just below the vent window, under the door panel. Keep in mind that the "back side" of the vent window track on this system IS the window track for the primary window in the door. in other words, you need to remove the entire window assy. to get the vent window frame out. There is a small screw UNDER the Aux. weather stripping over the top of the door frame, just below the curve of the door frame, that you need to remove. Either dig in and find it or remove the weather stripping and find it. The replacement Aux. weather stripping is available through JustMopar.com and others. Unfortunately, to do it right, you'll need to take all the glass out. You can remove just the vent window itself and one of the brackets and the seals without complete disassembly. good luck with your project... BTW i was hoping to upload a couple shots of the vent frame, out of the door, and you could see what you can expect however; this intra-web device seems to be a bit persnickety and won't allow it. If I can I'll shoot 'em to ya later.. Good luck

simply remove the screws and drill out the rivets on the top pivot. replacements can be found online. The stainless part of the track that is wrapped around the main track can be cleaned with .00 or .000 steel wool and some chrome polish.
