Default Hatch Vents??

Anyone have experience with the hatch vents I've seen advertised? Do they mount semi- permantly or do you take in and out ans needed?

I have the hatch vent for my 86 and you can put in on or take it off. It is very easy uses the same tool (40 torx) to install or remove. Installs in a minute or two. It sure makes a difference when you are moving. Keeps inside cooler even with the windows up. I think I got mine at Ecklers for less than $20.

It comes out. Gadgetman's just screws on there.

It does help with buffeting and keeps the interior cooler
