Vader is on the money on this one! And many others points too for that matter!
As for the glass breaking. The vent hatch does leave your glass more of a chance to take an edge shot, and this is what breaks tempered glass.
However the back glass on these cars is very thick and very strong. Tempered glass bends quite a bit befor it gives way. The only way it will implode is if the glass is already bruised.

What exactly do things things do?? :confused:
That can reduce interior temps by about 20 in summer, and the buffeting you get with the top off is gone with the vent in place. I cant stand to drive without the vent in place.

Yup, I'll probably get one in the summer :yesnod: It's a great idea, but I'm still not over the look of the hatch slightly raised :skep: :crazy:

I have the MA piece and it works well and seems to be a quality product.. The thing that worries me is going much over 100mph and the rear window being able to take the turbulence.

So Yeah. Some like to open the windows when we drive and the car looks great when your driving.
Cabin airflow is wonderful when touring the mountains or coastline.
Lots of great aroma to enjoy with the AC turned off.
And it's not like your gonnna leave it there forever.

The cheapie one I had rattled. So, last year I tried the one MA sells, and no rattles - a really sturdy piece. For about the price of a tank of premium - it is not that expensive, and very well built - not flimsy at all.
And, as others have said, having it allows nice air flow - you get the full ambience of the road; the breeze and the smell of the flowers and fresh-cut grass...something I've missed since I quit riding motorcycles.

That picture looks like the same Rear Hatch Vent that Corvette America sells in their catalog for $24.99. I was wondering if you could still close your hatch with this device still in place, or does it need to be removed?
