<VV> L/M rain deflector

[Bill Hubbell]

I really hate to be one of those folks who says "Read the Book", but you 
really should get an assembly manual (1965 or 1966) or the dealer A/C 
installation instructions (Clark's part # C4980) if you are trying to 
install a factory A/C system in a non-factory A/C car.  What good does it do 
to show you a picture of the part or where it goes if there then turns out 
to be several more parts and procedures that you still don't know about?

I would be happy to show you a picture of the part except that once it is 
installed (as it is on Geoff's car), you can't see it.  On the other hand, 
the manuals I cited above clearly show the part and where it goes.
