Bubble Rain Guards

I remember these rain guards/vent shades in the 80's and would like to find a set (im old school ). But It doesn't seem they make them anymore. Does anyone know where to get this, or knows anyone that has a set for sale, or that has a set who I can talk to about it.

thanks

I'm pretty sure that if you go to any local plastic shop in town ... they would be able to make you a custom one ... they're not that hard to make

Thumbs up

I've been looking for those for a very long time. I think the only place they can be found is in Puerto Rico (so I hear) but if anyone finds a pair let me know! I'll be posting a set a wheels like that soon on ebay!

This is an older thread. You may want to consider posting a want to buy ad in the marketplace section reference the rain guards. They are ultra rare and difficult to find.
