Anyone know a good source for replacement pop-up aluminum roof vents? A horse banged his head into the plastic shield on one of ours and busted it. Actually all I need is the plastic shield, like the ones Logan used on their older trailers (late 90s/early 2000s), but I have a feeling I won't find the plastic part separate of the vent. Any clues? Thanks.

Well, I looked at it (item #270339942187) but it doesn't have the plastic shield, which is all I really need. My vent is OK, just the shield thing is busted. Not sure if they even sell them any more but that's really all I am after.

Dang, that's not it either, Tresvolte. The thing I'm looking for is a rounded, oval-shaped plastic protector that extends down below the metal parts of the vent and keeps the horses' heads from hitting the vent itself. I'll try to attach a picture of it.

If you can't find a replacement, it would only take a few minutes to fabricate one out of plywood stacked to the thickness you want.
I don't have one on either of my trailers, and so far no problems. ( 8 & 9 years old) Of course there's always the impending chance that my Exiss will explode.

I'd probably try Logan and see what they can tell you. Who made it, or if they have any. You never know, they may have a box of them sitting there unused. Seen stranger things happen....

Thanks for all the pointers to pop-up vent suppliers. I needed to order a new set myself.
The two vents I removed from the horse area were installed open-end forward, so that they would scoop in dust, bugs, and so on. I have been considering reversing the new ones, which would reduce the forced airflow but not scoop up as much garbage. Any reason I should not? I know if this were an auto I'd have to worry about negative pressure drawing in exhaust, but the exhaust is out front of trailer vents no matter what you do.
