I'm looking for some glareshield defrost fan covers to put on after I apply my black vinyl fabric covering. Does anyone know of a supplier that these can be purchased from?
I installed 2 of these on my RV-10 glare shield. Very well made with relatively thick mounting plate. I did install a few extra screws to be sure it was well secured to the glare shield.
We only had black in PLA so I used that. Hopefully it holds up OK but they will be really easy to swap out if I ever have issues with them. This weekend I cut the material I'm using on the glareshield and its going to look sweet with those vent covers installed.
Rather than covers, I glued our glareshield vinyl over the entire surface and then cut the excess out of the design with an exacto knife. Looks very neat. Love the 3D printed ones.

I went to the local hardware store and purchase some wire cloth/screen with about 3/16- 1/4? opening, the wire was about .020-.030? dia. I sprayed it with flat black primer. I sandwiched the grill between the fan and the glare shield, works great.
