The ducting was actually tearing away from the plates. So I gave up. I pulled down the entire center tunnel. I took the tapered duct piece above the driver and passenger's head and stuck it into the rear output hole. Now the air blows across the ceiling and "bounces" off the windshield, gently bathing us in cooled air, rather than squirting it in our eyes like before. I actually like it much better. This also allowed me to pull the vent louvers from the front duct piece and turn it into a handy place to store garage remotes, maps, etc. It definitely doesn't look stock, but I'm content to have my Vanagon be worth under $6,000... -- John Bange '90 Vanagon - "Geldsauger" -- John Bange '90 Vanagon - "Geldsauger" |
