The vent wing locks are riveted to the windshield frame and the same applies to the vent wings frame on the vertical post.
To replace the lock or remove the vertical support from the frame, it is necessary to drill the existing rivets. After that, you need new rivets to install it all back.
These rivets are not supplied with the vent wing lock or a vent wing frame, but you must always order them separately.
Note : These rivets are 100% identical to the original, don't be tempted by reproductions. If the rivet does not fit perfectly, the connection will not hold.
