Default Hatch Vent (Gapper)

So I ordered a hatch vent from Corvette Central and got it today and installed it. It will probably stay on all the time since the car is driven on nice days only (it is easy to take off it need be).

Anyways, so it came and was in a little baggy and had no directions at all and I eyed it up and was thougt.....hmmmmm.....ok.....just need to go take a look at it next to the factory latch. It was then that I realized how easy it was. Had it on in about 2 mins.

Can't wait to give this thing a try. BTW, Corvette Central is FAST! I ordered on Thursday and received it today! They get points from me.

I have one on mine & love it. No more wind buffeting. You might also want to get a set of the little wind deflectors that attach to the mirrors (The verts came with them from the factory)
They keep the wind from hitting the side of your face.

When I put the wind deflectors on it made the biggest difference

I like my hatch vent as well. May have to try the mirror deflectors...
