Default Hatch Ventilation bracket ??

I have noticed that there are several devices on the market which will keep the rear hatch open a small amount to promote ventilation. Has anybody had any experience with these devices ????

Yes, I have one that someone was selling from this forum. It's two pieces, which works really well. I can't remember the seller, but the price was about $20 bucks plus shipping, if I remember correctly. LOL!

Ditto on Gadgetman. I have had one other (a twist on type) and it was terrible.

I have a two piece set from... ecklers i think.. (been a while since i got it).
The different is noticeable indeed. Before I got it, driving with the windows down and the glass roof off, you'd feel the whole car shudder at speed as air would come in, fill the trunk area, and the car would act as its own air brake. Smooth sailing now, and I get an even clearer sound of my exhaust .
