Default hatch vent

Any 1 try the rear window hatch vent .Raises the rear hatch window by a inch an half. Does it reduce cockpit air turbulence. Ecklers pt # 30728.

yup! It's a must for summer! cuts that air-buffeting noise and pulls that built up scalding air right out the back! fits in the console when not in use. warning: remember to remove before car wash!

When I first saw it in use I couldnt believe how much different the Vette looked for some reason... Then I realized it was just the hatch open a couple of inches! Its amazing how different the Vette looked (no spoiler on the Vette but I kept seeing the black part of the hatch glass and it looked like a spoiler at a glance... Hard to explain

Does anyone suck in fumes with that thing? It seems like that would be a problem???

No fumes (unless you're driving an oiler). One of the best do-dads I have ever bought, a must have for summer.

Funny you chime in! I think I saw it on your Vette at the Toys for Tots Run! Its amazing how a little lift on the hatch makes the Vette look so different (to me at least!)
