Vent WIndow Frame Separated

[A83]

Frame on my driver's side window has separated

It appears That there is a screw that anchors the right side of the frame  top to the  back side piece.

It looks like the screw Has nothing left to anchor into and the inside rubber piece or wherever it is supposed to anchor is damaged.

Is there anyway to effect a repair? 

 

Are there replacement vent window assemblies out there? I don't see any online but plan on contacting Dan booth tomorrow

Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you

I think there is enough room for you to drill a new hole and use a pop rivet to fix it, or maybe make a small L bracket to connect the 2 pieces.

Where would the pop rivet end connect into?

I was thinking that there was something similar to a L bracket that the screw went into and you could use that to attach the rivet to.  Maybe we need to see a photo of the problem area?

There is some kind of clip or something that the screw goes into per Dan Booth but you may be right I can send a picture but short of taking it fully apart right now it may be hard to see in any event. Dan Booth is sending me two new runners which is what I believe they’re called but he said they’re a headache to put in, but we’ll see. I’m not ruling out trying to glue it or hack some kind of repair if there are any ideas out there. 
 

Thank you again appreciate it.,
