We have a 2011 and a 2014 Grand Caravan, both of which are daily drivers. We live down three miles of limestone gravel road and the inside of both look like a farm work truck from all the dust! It’s terrible; I’ve tried to figure out why for three years. It’s so bad, the rear air vents in both don’t blow anymore from dust clogging them. FINALLY, I have hope I can stop it!
I found out that if you take the tail light out ( 2 bolts ) the exhausters are right there behind the tail light. With a little push down the top will come out. Lift it out and replace with the new part and push each corner in until you hear a click. Put tail lights back in and your done.
Exhausters (Quarter Panel Vents): Amazon USA: amzn.to/3qIqsnR Amazon Canada: amzn.to/3Nsa1oH Amazon UK: amzn.to/3Jf3D1k (NOTE: The correct part number is 68260545AA - same part for both sides)
Mine is a 2016. I just checked and no dust anywhere. The flaps are all there and no dust. I have had the van undecoated every year since I bought it. Maybe Dodge changed the exhauster by 2016.
Wow, i had no idea that those failed and very appreciated. Have A great rest of your weekend.

I will be trying this next week, over taking the whole bumper off or the inside trim. Sounds much easier, thank you!
Wow had no idea my GC had these. Im the type to replace even if i dont need to😅
I’ll have to visually inspect mine.
I’m in the salt belt, so the rock and road blast may have toasted mine!
