It could be, make sure it's in a baggie if it's raining, If it's an Econo that a fresh air intake. 65-67 there one on the pass side too.

It's pretty cool alright...right up until all the bug guts come flying through all graded up...lmao...but sure cools the van down. Makes me wonder if they weren't trying to compensate for the dog house heating up the van problem....hmmm.

Just a note, it also makes an access for mice if it's left open during storage.

Back in the 60's almost all cars and trucks had those vents

I put a piece of wire cloth over my vent. Years back my buddy with an early econoline had a bee/hornet come through and landed on his bare leg. Got him two three times real quick. He couldn't keep it together and we ran off the road and into a field. Luckily there were no trees or phone poles. I always remember that!

It does bring in some air, but it bangs around at highway. Next on my list is something to cushion it so I don't metal on metal messing up my mojo.

Ive never seen one so loose it Bangs around. Some small foam tape will make a gasket. 2 small ballpeen hammers would tighten the hinge.Lazarusvan wrote:It does bring in some air, but it bangs around at highway.
