Default C4 EZ Vent

Anyone buy the C4 EZ Vent from the Corvette Gadget Man? If so, how is it's quality and ease of operation? Thanks for your input.

I have the Vent Master, same idea as the EZ vent just made a little different. The results will be the same. It's really nice being able to open the hatch a little, even with the top on and the side windows up.

It's great. Easy on and off (in seconds) and stores nice and easy in the center console. It takes the thumping out of the interior when crusing with the top off and windows up.

Kinda neat-what I'm wondering is if it could cause any damage to the hatch and glass when driving because of flex?

I've had mine for over three years with no problems and when the weather is good I almost always use it. Very easy to install and its been very durable.

Bought one last year and cruised to LasVegas with it last summer. LOVE IT!! Easy on and off. Adjusts nicely!

Advantage - Airflow!! Leave the windows closed, a nice exchange of air from the dash is guaranteed!

Disadvantage - If you lower the door windows a reverse airflow will setup and the vapors (hot day) from the gas cap will enter the cabin. Also the digital A\C will run @ 100% since the temp sensor never "feels" the cabin temp.

Suggestions - Adjust it carefully to avoid breaking the rear tray.

-JRC-

Nor can I but while the wife likes having the top off, she complains if the windows are open when on the highway. She likes the wind in her hair, but not in her ears.
