Which Vanagon years and models does the Plastic Refrigerator Vent Cover fit?

This GoWesty Plastic Refrigerator Vent Cover is designed to fit all 1980–1991 Volkswagen Vanagon models—regardless of engine type, drivetrain, passenger or camper setup. If your Vanagon has the original fridge flue vent, this cover is made for you.

How do I install the Plastic Refrigerator Vent Cover, and will it stay secure?

To install, simply press the Plastic Refrigerator Vent Cover tightly into the rubber seal of your flue vent. You may need to gently stretch the seal on first use, and minor scuffing is normal. The cover gets easier to install and remove with each use. It fits snugly so it won’t fall out while your Vanagon is parked—the design helps prevent it from getting lost.

What does the Refrigerator Vent Cover actually protect against?

This vent cover is great for blocking out rain, soapy water, leaves, and bugs when your Vanagon is parked, in storage, or being washed. It keeps moisture and critters out of the fridge vent, helping maintain your Vanagon’s interior and fridge system. It’s not intended for use while driving.

Is the Plastic Refrigerator Vent Cover durable enough for repeated use?

Yes, the cover is made from sturdy plastic designed for repeated installation and removal. It's built to handle regular use while washing or storing your Vanagon. Minor scuffing may occur at first, but this won't affect fit or performance.

Should I use this vent cover for permanently blocking off an unused fridge vent?

If you want a temporary solution for protection while parked or cleaning, this plastic cover is perfect. For permanently blocking an unused vent, GoWesty recommends their Aluminum Block-Off Plate, which is specifically designed for long-term closure.

Ce petit cache-grille en plastique était une option d’usine sur votre Westy. Il est conçu pour s’enfiler sur l’évent de cheminée en acier inoxydable et empêcher la pluie, l’eau savonneuse et les insectes indésirables d’y pénétrer et de tout salir. Bien qu’il soit possible de rouler avec le cache-grille en place, nous vous recommandons de ne l’utiliser que lorsque le véhicule est stationné, entreposé ou en cours de lavage. Si vous roulez avec, vous risquez de le perdre !

Remarque : Ce cache flexible s’insère étroitement dans le joint en caoutchouc entourant la grille. Pour l’installer, vous devrez insérer profondément le cache dans le joint en étirant celui-ci au fur et à mesure, jusqu’à la partie du joint présentant une légère découpe. Il est normal d’égratigner le cache lors des premières installations, mais cela devient plus facile au fil du temps !

Vous n’utilisez plus le réfrigérateur au propane ? Obstruez-le définitivement avec notre plaque d’obturation en aluminium.
