This should be an easy to find wrecking yard item. If you want to see yours, open your vent and, with a torch driver, loosen the locking handle. The piece in question goes directly against the glass inside the hole that's drilled in the glass. It's perhaps a half inch wide and is tapered a bit, IIRC.
