RE: [VAC] Vent Caps



I wish this letter were not formatted, but I have used both metal and plexi roof vents.  I have also used smoked plexi, which I found best where direct sun is strong.  Overall I would opt for the stock aluminum vents.  When the curtains on my 66 Safari are open there is more than enough light and the protection from the elements is much more dependable.  Tree branches tend to crack plexi but not aluminum.
 
There is also the idea that a faithful restoration uses stock components whenever possible.
