As most of us will have found, when our soft or hard top roof is in position, the interior of the car gets a bit steamy - when the weather is damp I mean!! Windows get misted up, and it is not very comfortable.
With the usual limitations in dash-board space, my rebuilt layout could only accommodate one largish plastic vent in front of the gear-laver area. I have yet to install some 63mm dia elephant trunking to pick up fresh air from the front of the car.
CBS have a very nice fan unit that fits into the 63mm dia trunking, but at a cost of more than £90!! They claim it is of high quality and good performance, but the cost is really prohibitive.
I was wondering whether anyone has any alternative ideas. I was thinking of a larger fan inside a metal container, with a large intake scoop at the front, and a flange for the 63mm pipe at the rear. Siting it somewhere under the bonnet could be a problem though.
To encourage a through-put of air, I will also install a couple of plastic vents somewhere at the back.
Any thoughts on a fan unit, homemade or otherwise?
Cheers
Mike
