Window vents

buddy · 04-13-2019, 09:53 PM

I have a 2013 e350 ford and I’m looking for window vents. I’m looking for the ones that fit into the top of the driver and passenger doors. Anyone know who sells them. Can’t find them anywhere.

Is this what you are referring to?

Genuinely curious as to what the point of these are... So you can open your window when it's raining...? Does it reduce buffeting with open windows on the freeway or something?

I've always thought they just looked funny with no real purpose.

I’m looking for the ones that you roll the windows roughly 3/4 of the way up and these are held in place. Used to alow airflow in the van when camping and keeps the bugs out. Sorry I’d post a picture of what I’m looking for to make it easier but don’t know how to do that.

Skeeter-Beaters work great - makes allowance to position the windows any way you like (1/2 open, fully opened, etc). Link is to the Sportsmobile Store, but may be able to find a lower price elsewhere...

They let you open your windows a couple of inches when it's raining so you can have a bit of extra ventilation. You can stretch your mosquito netting over them to keep out the bugs. We find them quite useful in many of the places we camp.

I worried they could be cheesy, but I like them. Added noise at highway speed is not a problem. Allows me to leave the windows cracked and not worry about rain, or in more densely populated areas, security. Tinted, so it is not obvious that your windows are not closed tight. I made up some screening for inside to allow some airflow without a swarm of mosquitos.

We have the rain guard type visor things on our E250. Love being able to leave the windows cracked while driving even in the rain I’m a huge van of natural airflow instead of AC, and these, coupled with rear pop-out windows, allow really great airflow through the entire van.
