I need the part that the defroster hose for the left drivers side needs to be slid onto. This is what the tube side of my current one looks like:
This is where the defroster tube from the heater plugs into for the windshield defrost outlet. The one on the passenger side seems to be in ok shape. My questions are:
1) Am I calling it the correct name?
2) Can this part be removed. Some of the pictures I've seen make it look like it might not be removable.
2) If it is removable, do you need to fold the windshield down to remove this part? My FJ40 is a 76 hardtop.
3) I have a Toyota Chassis & Body 1975 - 1980 Repair manual, but there isn't anything in there for the actual defroster vent components in the windshield, is there another chassis manual that has the name and descriptions of body and chassis parts? I also have a Haynes Manual but it didn't show it either.
4) Is there an aftermarket product if a used one isn't available?
If I take it out I may be able to repair what I have, or fabricate something to attach to the non damaged sections, if the parts I can't see are undamaged.
