I believe the astro vent system only existed on coupes. Its attached right to the vent door, can't miss it, on a coupe.

Jim,
The Astro Vent system was only operational on cars without A/C. With A/C the rear vents are non-operational.

:iagree: You can't get at it because it AIN'T there. As the others have said, Astorvent was only on non-a/c cars, both coupes and convertibles.
