Default Front Vent Window

Has anyone made personally or is there any type of aftermarket clip in vent wing for the front window? Anything that would allow a bit of outside air at the driver would be nice. My ‘67 Messerschmitt has a aftermarket pair and it makes a huge difference in warm/hot weather. Any ideas?

Found a quick fix for my situation. Clips right on the hand rail and plugs in to the cigarette lighter receptacle. Ended up being a bit larger than I imagined and lots of extra air on one’s full torso and neck. Going to be a game changer on really warm days.

There are different versions/sizes. Some by battery, some rechargeable and different mounts but I figured this would be the simplest and can quickly be unclipped and stored. I turned the clip and mounted the fan up side down to get a good angle aiming at the drivers seat. On Amazon type in something like “12v fan” to see options.

If you need this particular fan tilted up a bit more to blow air to your upper body all one needs to do is to add some of the small self sticking felt pads you can get at the hardware store. Easy peasy!
