Keith made some a couple of years ago. No idea whether he has any left though.

Re: Tailgate ventilation standoff
I swear you lot are mind-readers; with the weekend *possibly* being pretty hot, I was just thinking about sourcing one of these this morning on the drive in... So, thanks!

Re: Tailgate ventilation standoff
I got one from Serial Kombi in France a couple of years ago.
Seems to still have them in stock. https://www.serial-kombi.com/en-GB/tran ... 2-n311315#

Re: Tailgate ventilation standoff
I bought one and used it on Friday night when it was hotter than Hades in Dorset.
It was great. The cool breeze and air-flow through the bus were fantastic; it made for a most comfortable sleep...
...
...until it LASHED down during a storm at 3am in the morning.
Of course I went and recovered it and closed the boot so we wouldn't experience torrential water ingress and a miserable missus. And of course... I got soaked to the bone in the 20 seconds or so that I was outside the van.
Moral of the story? Naw, there isn't one; it's still a fantastic gizmo when it's hot and you need the air-flow, but you can count on the English weather to throw a curve-ball or two. Or three.

Re: Tailgate ventilation standoff
take panel off and measure up, peel the covering back first, then cut the hole, cut the covering to make tabs, use contact adhesive to stick the covering around the back to cover edge.

Re: Tailgate ventilation standoff
Just done this on the poptop for the summer
measured up using the screw hole for the reference
Hole saw drill bit is too long so I drilled a hole first then used a piece of cut down screw as a guide pin, other than that pics speak what's needed, no guarantee you can get to it with your bed if it's raised.
