Any recommendations on 2-door hatches? I generally try 1-2" on the passenger side to swirl the breeze back to the driver's side -- it can also force more draw on the vents without using the fan motor -- but otherwise, the hidden rear vent doesn't move much air, so the A/C crops-in when it gets close to 80F. But, I wont have to worry about that much longer this year
