Anybody knows if there is a aftermarket for fastener for rear air vent 85 vanagon ?

Are you looking for the screw that holds the vent cover on? or the square threaded thing in the photo?

These are the screws from Van Cafe

Looks like this is an aftermarket solution for the threaded part from Uniwerks

Here is the plastic insert clip part.

I've happened on a universal insert that fit this. haven't searched for it but I bet its also on McMaster or the like

DIY 3d printing is a great way to go on something like this.

I'm 99% certain I found a suitable anchor in the bulk section at my Ace hardware store. The drawer may have been titled License Plate nuts. FWIW if you need a replacement today.
