Roof scoop installed

I was able to mount the scoop to the 3 rivets holding each side of the vent with an "L" bracket so if I decide to get a different one there are no extra holes to fill. I couldn't decide between cutting the front the way you see it or doing a sawtooth type edge but in the end simplicity won (though I could still add the saw teeth). This scoop fits fairly close to the vent when open so I'm a little concerned about getting airflow around it and to the backside but I think it will be OK. I'm interested to see if it has the desired effect.

Rear view, you can clearly see the "24" logo from the lawnmower emblem. The gap at the rear is intentional to allow some flow through relief when the vent is closed.

Possible roof scoop and mockup

This is a plastic piece that came from a 24 volt lawnmower, but it looks like a scoop to me. I don't know if I'll keep it or just use it until I decide to pony up for the Subaru type roof scoop but it was free and I'll make the mounting brackets use holes I've already made.

Roughly where it will go on the car.


From the front, it's a pretty close fit when the vent is open.

Roof vent for my Metro

It's summer again and I'm tired of sweating so I'm putting a vent in the roof. I got the idea from member "Badbent" at Geometroforum.com, here's the thread showing his vent with a scoop- . I'm going to try it with out the scoop first, if needed I'll add the scoop later (the scoop pressurizes the vent even when it's opened facing the rear which directs the air down to the drivers feet which might be nice). Here are some pictures of my install, it's not finished yet but I had to get it in so I could drive the car tomorrow.
