There was an air deflector that went on the lower pointed end of the vent window and directed air down around the pedals and bottom of the steering column to counter heat coming in around them. I googled air deflector and all offered are for the out side to deflect away rain when the vent is open. Does anyone know if the downward deflectors are still offered? Thank you;

When searching, be sure to include vent in the search.

You guys get an A+. Never gave doing a search on ebay a thought after coming up short on google. REALLY helps to know what they were called. Thanks;

Very easy to test to see if they will help; with your vent a little more than halfway open use the flat palm of your hand to direct the air down toward your feet. In my case, with not too good of pedal and column seals, it helped a bunch.
