The Vent windows in my 87 Jimmy High Sierra have pretty much rusted away and when you go to open them they kind of just fall out, the previous owner just put a bunch of sticknpeel weather stripping around it but I'm not going to have AC for a while so it would be alot better for the windows to be functional. Iv only found handles or gaskets online but I need the frame it seems. I can upload a picture later if it would help im just not at my garage right now. If anyone knows how to replace or fix the window and could leave some feedback thatd be awesome.

What you may need to do is find a replacement frame. I'm in the same boat, although my frames are not rusty. The lower pivot simply snapped on mine so the window just kind-of dangles from the upper rivet. I'd look for a nice donor frame, get a new set of gaskets and maybe new glass - depending on the condition of yours - and do a bench rebuild. That way you know it will be right and it should work for another 30 years!
