    ventshades

    anyone know who makes/made the smoked plastic window vent for our cars? i can only find the stainless ones and my car has plenty of shine on it now. I saw a grand marquis for sale that had the black plastic "autoventshade" style, couldnt get a part number

          The ones from partsgeek look like a good option. They are not expensive also.

            If only you asked like 3 or 4 years ago I'd have let you have Ashley's. Those were the first things to go in the trash when we got it, followed by the crooked Harley-Davidson sticker on the rear window.

                Sorry the '95 were the impact strips or something in the bottom links, for popular searches. Looks like they do have 98 & 99 and later in dark smoke, stock up on your preferred in-channel or stick on to last the rest of your lives, because I'm sure they aren't making them anymore.

                  I think the better question may be whether or not anyone ever DID make the smoked plastic ones for the boxes at all. I've never once seen a reference to them existing.

                  The stainless ones look right at home on a box as if they belong, but they don't work very well at all on a non-vent-window-equipped box because the whole length of the A-pillar is exposed.

                    I think plastic ones where made, because I seem to remember when I bought my ventshades for the box that the guy asked if I wanted the plastic full coverage ones or the stainless top of the window ones. I seem to remember him flipping the catalog around for me to look at it. I thought the plastic ones looked like crap on any car I'd seen so never paid much attention to what availability they had, but I suspect that a lot of people probably thought they didn't look too good on a box so never opted for them except in the rare case where somebody had experience with both and knew they wanted to be able to open the window a crack when it was raining.
                    I'd go with sxpotatoes (whats your first name anyway?) and compare the aero door angle with the box, might be close enough to work.

                        i was looking through my jc whitney catalog from 2001. it lists the plastic ones but no part number. it just says 79-82 and 83-97 but i know that 93 up windows are rounded not square. im about to call lund and see if they know.

                          79-82 is differentiated from 83-91 by the mirrors. The 79-82 part probably stops a few inches up from the bottom of the A-pillar because the mirror would be there.

                          But yeah, 83-97 isn't right. 92-2011 should all fit, 97 and 83 wouldn't use the same ones...
