Vent panels

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!

Note your signature DVD - Did you rustoleum your van? - I am in mid paint job...

Cheers
