Dan,


  The fix I suggested does not permanently seal the vents off.  I simply applied the foam around the edge so it creates a seal when you move the lever to the closed position.  If you have any luck fixing the defrost vents by removing the grill, let me know.

Thank you for the suggestion. Another writer suggested accessing the vents
by removing the front grill. I think I will try that approach.


However, I live in Wisconsin and must have access to hot air in the winter
so I can't permanently close off the vents. Fortunately, I store my Vanagon
for most of the cold season.


Good driving,
Dan
