was just looking at some pictures of van interiors to see if i could
see something and realized that on the westy they are part of the facia
covering that area. is it possible that there were variations of that
facia piece?  when i check some  manuals (bentley included) they seem
to imply that the vents were 1985 and after for all models, but what
about prior years?.
