There was an air vent mounted on the top of the van for the back window. It came off, can I find one anyplace to replace? It keep the rain off of the back window. Have not seen many vans with this on it. Thank you

Due to the age of the van, this is going to be a salvage yard item. If a yard near you does not have a van with this part, they have a huge network of yards they work with to find what you need. If you are lucky, they may even be able to find one the right color so it does not have to be painted.

Do not overlook the local dealer too. The one I worked for had a yard in back with crash-damaged and trade-in vehicles. The people in the body shop harvested parts to save their customers some money, but the parts department sold parts from them too. We also had a lot of older parts in stock hat never were sold, and they just sit there until someone needs them.
