Vent Lid Deterioration
I have a 2017 Forester, and in May of 2017 my vent lids in the bedroom and bathroom were destroyed in a hail storm. I replaced them both (plastic, like original), and also added Max Air covers to each. Last week I noticed that the vent lid in the bathroom was cracked in several places, and upon further investigation, found it to be completely deteriorated - it crumbled wherever I touched it. I checked the one in the bedroom, and it is fine, just like new. I ordered metal covers for both, but the one for the bathroom did not fit, due to the fan motor. So, I put a metal cover on the bedroom, and put the plastic cover from the bedroom on the bathroom vent. Both are fine, now. My question is this: is there a reason the bathroom vent lid deteriorated when the bedroom lid did not? Is it due to the moisture in the bathroom from the shower? Also, does anyone make a domed metal cover that would fit over the motor housing in the bathroom vent? Thanks for your help.
