Same principle as the jk ones

Any chance of some close up photos and details of how you made these, please? Do you use them when driving or only when parked?

thanks

I use them while driving but they get noisy at high speeds, you can't use the front window ones while driving.

I have taken them out in very heavy rain otherwise some comes in.

Its all made from sheet metal riveted together with standard ventilation grills on the front, i'm lucky enough to have access to a sheet metal gullotine at work, may be tricky with domestic tools.

I will get some pics up later

if you are talking about my home made slider vents they don't fit into the top recess, just like the JK ones to get them in you fit them into one runner/recess and they are made to just squeeze past the other.

then slide the window along, fit a spacer to stop it being slid back and it's held on both sides and the bottom, the material is rigid enough to stop it being pushed in, most people wouldn't notice it's not in the recess anyway. if somebody really wants in they will do so.

as for fitting to the glass, again like the JK ones there is a metal channel and the window slides into it.

will get a close up of them fitted buy may need it be the weekend as it's dark when I get home.

nice one...no rush....but thanks.

I have access to some sheet metal kit so could look at making some T25 styled versions...(thinking about using the holes (vents) to form the letters ???)

flash seems to work OK

Nice one....thanks for taking the pics
