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.
