Thin bits of metal and bright blue light.

Vent panels

Post by dougt25 »

Has anyone ever come up with any sort of modification for the dreadfully designed rear vents that channel water straight into the rear of the van when it rains ?

There is no wonder the panels directly below are nearly allway rotted!

A few solutions have been suggested but one that a few have used is to add a plastic tie to the vent just below the end of the gutter. This seems to deflect water down the outside of the body.

Maybe I'll give that a try, dont know why vw didn't just put the slats the other way up!
