Seat Vents

[hauser]

One of the vents behind the drivers seat has a crack.  Are there any replacement parts for this item?

Last year I bought a pair of used vents from SL Tech for $50.  We'd confirmed at that time that the part was no longer being manufactured.  You might email Gernold Nisius at gernold@sltechw113.com for more detail.

I took a closer look at the ebay vents. One of the vents appears to have damage to the mesh area.

From what I recall the early type was metal and the later models were plastic.  Is this correct?

Hauser, that`s right. The late ones came in plastic.

BTW:
If You recognize a NLA part on a re-sellers list, the
part MUST be still avaliable. Sometimes on has to use
his imagination only. You know the whole covering incl.
BOTH vents is still available at 41,61 Euro
