ventilation opening

Postby linus » Thu Feb 07, 2008 11:52 am

Does anyone of you know this "dachklappe" (i dont know the english word) ? I need some ventilation in my van but am scared to death sawing a hole in my van for a product that isnt worth it :?
Any experiences ?
Thanks,
Linus

This is alluminium and i am also worried about the quality ofthis one looking at the price:about 30 £

Flettner vent still requires 3 holes the largest of which is around 13cm and circular, I backed out of doing it myself.

I was thinking along the lines of noise/vibrations when driving :!: :D
