Subject:Re: Westy Vent cap??? where to get.
From:BRENT CHRISTENSEN

I have been through 3 of these in the last year.  At $10 a piece, I have
given up trying to keep one in place.  (They are available from gowesty and
bus depot).  Either they tend to blow off on the highway, or they are
popular with dishonest Vanagon owners.  (Shouldn't that be an oxymoron?)

Nice to have, but they just don't seem to stay put.
