Defrosters

I can't believe Ford make the defrosters out of cardboard.

Is there a company that makes metal replacements?

I've been trying to get a hold of some myself. Sacramento Ford advertises fiberglass ones but when I tried to order some they emailed me saying that they wouldn't have any a long time.

You could probably lay colth and resin on them yourself. I patched mine up with brown paper bags and fabric cement. At least they don't make any sqeeks or rattles!

I saw an add for complete A/C Heater for 1300 dollars.It appeared to have metal ones.I wonder if they would sell just the vents.Cant remember the company,but an internet search should do it.

Mine still look great after 50 years. I think the issue with these can be moisture, window leak, or something like that.

You've heard of a barn find? How about a basement find?
