1966-1967 Chevelle Dash Vent Patch Panel
The 1966-1967 Chevelle Dash Vent Patch Panel is a precise sheet metal repair section engineered to restore the leading front edge of your upper dash structure. On early first-generation A-bodies, moisture frequently leaks past a compromised windshield seal, collecting along the dash framework and rotting out the metal surrounding the defroster vent holes. This targeted patch panel extends directly to the front of the defroster vent openings, saving you the immense time, labor, and cost of replacing the entire upper dash assembly.
