Door vent wing windows

[Letas]

There is great value as a pleasurable experience. Certain weather conditions it is wonderful. If you haven't had the pleasure, I'm sorry. Coming back from Lake Michigan beach, some sand still on your feet, the day cooling down. Good company in the passenger seat. Might even have to run the heat on low as the night comes on. Good tunes playing.

I'm expecting to have solar panels within a year or two of an EV. Basically free miles within range of home. Tires cost more per mile. Before solar panels it is about a nickel a mile. I'm not worrying much about efficiency and cost of AC at that point, Give me my fresh air!

I think the hacker dictionary says CAB stands for cheap azz bast***? There is likely a picture of me there. But I would strongly consider aftermarket vent windows under $300. Maybe more.

You mock my pain.

I feel your pain and went through the same thing 35 years ago. Different car, different city, same pain.

Counter counterpoint. Usually car windows are in-line to the car. So if you drive fast, the air rushes by, but maybe doesn't come in. Or the front window blows into the back seat.

The vent window can be set to just allow some air in, or opened far enough to scoop the air in. You can direct it directly into the drivers face if you want.

But that manual crank is very sexy too. Very precise to put the window right where you want it. Unlike most of the power windows I've used - stop, stop, too far down. Up a little, oh too much. All while trying to drive.

All good points.

Would be great, but I suspect a not so minor rework.

Counter counter counter point. AC can be directed exactly where you want, and the temperature can be modified as well.

Additionally, Lake Superior> Lake Michigan

We very rarely use our AC, but sunroof most always open.
