I am wrapping up the final touches of a restore of my 72 Westy. I have one window frame (the rear driver's side pop out fin, just behind the louvre window, next to bench) that is badly rusted and in need of repair. Any ideas on where I can find such an obscure body part? I do not want to go to the junkyard if I can avoid it.

The vent rubber is available, but not the vent itself; junkyard it is and even then they are few and far between as every other bus owner was there before you. I think the vent part is the same '68 to '79, and the deluxe busses were chrome rather than rusty black like the Westy's. Good luck!

The cheapest way to go is just to relace the entire glas area with a solid peice of glass. The rubber is cheaper and the glass can be found at any vdub graveyard. I had the same problem on my 71.
