Subject:Team effort, vanagon NLA part

Hi folks,

        A small thing but I love improving or maintaining our vans!

        I’ve been enjoying the Uniwerks parts both replacement for NLA and new items. 

One item I have not installed yet was made of a softer material than the usual items. 

It reminded me of my fruitless search for a passenger side rear grommet for the hatch.  The one the rear wiper and hose go through.  

I found the passenger side one for the defrost wires but they are not interchangeable. 

I’ve been looking at vans and most have a missing grommet on the right, a worn out one or a created one.    

When I asked Uniwerks about making one he said he would need an original to create a quality replacement.

So, as a team.   Am I right that this part is still not available? 

Does anyone have an intact right rear hatch grommet they could send Chris at Uniwerks in the hope he can create them for the community?

I like supporting his small business and I appreciate his products. 

Again they are not interchangeable.  I have a new left side somewhere as the source indicated it would work.  But the shape of the ends are specific and not a match for both sides.

Anyone up for working together to get this part created?

And, then what other missing parts might we want to help return?
