Re: Rear window hatch vent (USMUSLE)
Its a good idea when you have the targa off, it lets the air flow smoother and theres alot less noise. Cooler inside the car too.

I've had a few people tell me I left my hatch open, but I like it. The one they sell at ecklers "heavy duty hatch vent" has about the quality and strength of wet clay. if Kevin was stil lselling his, I'd buy one of those.

I have one of Kevin's and love it. Keeps the car cool, no extreme buffeting at speed like I had without one. Keeps interior temps cooler.
I think he is out of them, look for a brand that is all metal and is easy to put on and take off.

Re: Rear window hatch vent (USMUSLE)
I've had mine for about Three years now and don't know how I got along without it... :D
When I park it I put the vent in, keeps the interior cooler. Also helps when targa top is off, WAY less noise and no buffeting???sp?? :D :D

It's well worth it. except for the fact that you'll have people telling you left your hatch open. I didn't think it would make much diffrence in temp but It surprised me.

Re: Rear window hatch vent (35th)
Love the hatch-vent, except I'm missing the piece that keeps the interior lights off. Is there a way to physically disable the interior lights other than sticking a pen cap in the hatch?
:cheers:

Excelent Quality and will probably last forever. Send him an email or IM and see if he has any left.
