Bill,
My '64 Trade Wind has this 14 x 25" vent, and it does need replacing.

Subject: [VAC] Help!! 14x25 vent caps
>This is an all out request to all the 260 members of this List. We are
>trying to figure how many Airstreams were made with the older 14x25,
>rectangular vents. Most of them used the old cast aluminum LeDeau Mfg
>closures, made in LA. The vent cap could be raised on either end by
>screwing the LeDeau closure up or down. I think the 14x25 vent was
>installed as early as 1958, and as late as 1968. It did not come in
>each model, but many. All the 750 Bambi's had the long vent. If you
>have a long vent cap, please let us know, because Steve Hingtgen at
>Airstream Dreams is in the process of trying to have that cap made in
>Lexan, and a choice of colors. I think you can still buy that cap from
>some price pirates, in fiberglass, but it is very expensive.

>Please, let us know, your year and model.
