STC1346 - Vent

Help needed I want to put 2 vents in the roof at the back above the rear door and just wondering if these are the vents I would need STC1346 - Vent . Most have them either side of the rear door wash jet if not could anyone point me in the right direction as the back is full condensation with the weather changing.

Yep, they are the 'factory' ones. Hopefully someone can advise you on the correct position to mount them. 1985 127 V8 Build Thread

Weren't they the same part as fitted to Austin Maestro vans?
Seem to recall that they were deleted after a few years as they were prone to allowing water in.

Having lived with an unlined hardtop I have to admit condensation is not a lot of fun but a headlining cures it completely. If you want a pure utility however then ventilation should help. ONE LIFE, GET IT!

prone to allowing water in. That bit made me laugh as being in a Defender you would think condensation would not be an issue. whist searching about the vents on here I found an older post mentioning the Maestro.
My issue is wet tools and clothing being in the back from work and no heated window in the back door it soon fogs up which then would cause the headliner and other material to start to get mould on

Hi. I've got these vents in my '89 90. Did you want measurements of their position or are you just going to bosh them in? Instagram: l90andy

No probs. They should be ok, the vents are only above the door section
