Alan, about 1/2 of one of the elbows is visible. The other isn't. Since I would not be driving my car when the defroster/defogger is needed, functionality is not that important nor is urgency. Rudy used to reproduce these but he stopped doing so a few years ago and informed me he would not be doing any more - the market has dried up. If I can find one, great - if not, I'll keep waiting/looking. Thanks for the info just the same.
