Series-1 Hatch Vent Duct Clips & Restoration Info Needed

Featured Replies

What is the inner thickness dimension?  Looked back at the thread's drawings and I don't see it listed.

can someone talk me through the right way to remove the hatch vent assembly without breaking off the grill pins? the passenger side plastic vent and tube was loose and came right out, so I was able to flex the clip enough to get the hatch vent out. The driver side vent assembly is not budging, I can't see any of the clip hardware or grill pins to get to them - the vent is possibly held in with some weatherstripping snot - don't want to break the grill on that side, but I haven't been able to wiggle it loose.

Hi Jim, fantastic! I agree drain tube , use original soft rubber one , it is very good.

I too looked my spare parts , a metal crip which attaches two plastic parts is there, I confirmed, thank you.

My wife said "is it for vacuum cleaner ? "

I have to keep it inside my parts box !

Hi all! Currently restoring the rear hatch in all its glory, and dug through this thread.

Does anyone know if the outer gasket/foam seal on the interior hatch panel (the one with the rubber flaps for rain, etc) is the same soft 8mm foam as is used on the vent shown here?
Looking to replace the degraded foam, and trying to figure out the correct material.

Cheers!
