HELP! Pass. Side heat vent..
.....in the front quarter panel. I lost the original somewhere between PA and NJ.
It apparently came loose and flew off. I got a relpacement from a restoration place, and now i need to know how to secure it in the hole where the original went. That is where the power antenna is for the radio. Now, when i look in there, there isnt ONE thing i see that will securely hold this in place....so aside from the two big tabs on the replacement piece, what else holds it in there
I tried putting it in, but it still isnt secure....there's something still missing. I also dont have the screen that covers the opening of the replacement piece yet either....is that what secures it to the quarter panel on the inside? Or is there something else? Anyone know??

iirc, it should fit pretty snug in there with just those mounting tabs.. there should be 2 on each side to keep it snug in there...
