[Mk2] [Generic] rear window vents...........

Post by CRTwo »

when bored i took the little plastic vent looking thing out from by the rear window and found it's jst a hole nothing there but the shell, this got me thinking..............basically i'm thinking of drilling through into the engine bay and making some vents that work!

anyone ever done anything similar, im pretty certain it won't matter if i got making holes but i thought id put it on here just incase someone knows of any reason not to be making holes i.e. structural integrity :-k only little holes mind

It's been done before.. It looked good because the car looked good, but as to the real purpose.. :-k You'd be better off looking at other ways to cool the engine bay i.e. fans, side vent scoops, etc

that vent is there for moisture and venting reasons when you shut the door.
wonder if there would be any issue if blocking them off as you say?

would be worse in your climate im sure.
