Window vents

Im searching for carbon window vents for the back windows.

Does anyone got vents that the window can go all the way up tru the vent so the holes are closed.? Here it rains a lot so i need vents that if needed i can close it all the way so the rain stay outside.

If anyone know where i can buy them i would like to hear because i only find open ones.

Thank u

Never heard of these window through vents. I've only seen the ones that the Windows but up to. If it rains just pull them out? Shouldn't be too hard I'd think. In for info though if there is a new style vent.

they are only working right if you have a roof scoop. They made for rally cars , because the rules on rally prohibit even partially open windows.
So make the drivers be less stressed because of the heat in the cabin, they made a roof scoops. Then later they add on the window vents for better airflow.

Rexspeed has one cheap option.
i have that one

I only ever saw a few limited made CF ones. They aren't available for sale anywhere, and one of the owners of a set was disappointed as they were wearing down and flaking quickly.

Also, having run window vents for a little while now, I have no issue driving through a rainstorm with them. The mesh pretty much prevents most water from entering, so you hardly get a bit of moisture inside. So yes, I've driven through ridiculous rainstorms and left the car parked out in hard rain with them in and no issues

I doubt you'll find any where the window can roll all the way up through them. I'm not sure how that design could work.

Where i live it rains very often so i don't want mold inside my car, i think when i buy the normal vents the foam wil saturated if it rains al day and eventualy it can causes mold inside my X because it wil be always moist inside. Think i don't buy them.. Thanks everyone for ur opinion, i apreciate it.

It's not a foam, it's a wire mesh. And as mentioned, they are very easy to install and remove.

Mold inside the car seems like a longshot to me, but interesting concern!

Lol, he's just going for post count, don't worry about him.

I don't think you're going to find any window vents that can roll the window up through the holes, because designing that would be a nightmare. The vents use the window for support to hold them in place securely.

Just get a set of vents, and if it starts to rain just take them out and close the window.
