Where does the rear defroster get air from in a 68 Charger?

Since I found out the same day that they're repro'ing the 68 rear DEFOG bezel, I decided to add that to my charger restoration.

Bought these parts yesterday off ebay.

I'm assuming the install will be straightforward, but I'm curious where the rear defroster unit gets air from? Looks like there is some sort of hose, but where does it go?

Thanks!

Your still missing a few pieces.....you are missing the plenum & the bezel that attaches to it.

The hose pictured attaches to the plenum (plastic duct) which inturn attaches to the metal bezel that you see on top of the package tray.

The motor mounts in one of the cutouts for a speaker in the package tray and gets its air intake from there....

Gah!! Thanks for the heads-up!

I think I found another motor and plenum on ebay for 78. But no grille!!

Would this one work from a 72?
