Windshield installation 1966-70 B body

[Mopar Hunter]

That’s where I found mine, I had leaks coming from the fresh air vents, there was little rust holes around the cowls were leaves and debris built up. Not my pictures.

The right side on my car has a block off plate from the aftermarket A/C conversion but the right side is original.
Thanks for chiming in.

If you can’t find the leak right off, try using a leaf blower after hitting it with a hose. You can see water push under the gasket doing that.

I’ve pulled crazy amounts of leaves out of these cars when the vents are pulled. It’s a bit tough to reach your hand around the cowl lip, but you can get quite a bit of **** that way. I never found a good vacuum attachment for that bend. You’d basically need a hook end to go over the lip.

I pulled the trim resting clip that goes here.

I pulled the left hand one from Jigsaw…

I don’t remember removing these from the red car, Ginger.

Wayne said these are reproduced?

National Moparts in Ontario, Canada has them; they're just a vendor so they're certainly available elsewhere:

There's no need for the lame passive-aggressive 'threat' to add me to your "list". Just do it.

I used a combination of tapering down a vacuum cleaner hose to about 3/4” id non collapsible hose and tape. Took the vent box off also. Worked very well.
As mentioned before, I built a domed fine mesh screen on top of the vent box, still allows the door to open and close. keeps mice and leaves out. Can always blow the leaves back out the top.
Make sure the drain slots by the fender are clear.
Relating my experience.

Sorry, but there was nothing lame about it! I can't wait to hear your complaints about how much Nigel charged you for courier shipping. Making Canadians look bad since.....

Add on 33% for Canadian dollar.
Shipping could be 45.00 US.
So Nationalmoparts 35.00 price Canadian becomes possibly 70.00? Who knows.
I received 2 hood mldg clips from a fellow in the USA. Package weighed 3.5oz. Shipping came to 45.00 US. 72.00 Canadian.
My question is. How can 25.00 US shipped be less expensive than 32.00 Canadian shipped.

I've purchased from National Moparts several times this summer, no complaints about their shipping rates. I'll continue to read your posts, but do yourself a favor and add me to your exalted "list" already. Clearly it's causing you undue stress.

Sometimes something gets posted and we miss it. It doesn't mean that we ignored good advice or are showing any disrespect, it is often a simple oversight.
