Vent Window Disassembly - I'm stuck

it should be a roll pin-- it pulls out!!It is exactly as you expect it limits the vent window movement & from separating from the unit. Lawrence

It's not a roll pin. It's not hollow and it has more than one lengthwise groove. In the daylight with the magnifying glasses, I can see that it appears to be a different piece of metal than the shaft. The shaft is not drilled all the way through so I can't drive it out with a drift punch.

I'm going to get more physical with it. If it breaks, I'll drill it out and replace it with a roll pin.
