Vent
The vent consists of insulating foam board cut to fit the hole left by removal of the mirror. A 1.25 inch hold was drilled in the board and a 1.25 inch PVC pipe elbow inserted in the hole. Duct tape holds the assemby together. The assembly is attached to the mirror bracket. The small black dot on the vent is a thermal sensor for comparing inside to outside air. The pipe inlet is covered with steel mesh for cutting wind noise and screening out bugs. Even in heavy rain I am not getting water coming in the car.
The outside mirror is replaced with a convex mirror on the inside. It provides much better blind-spot coverage than the original mirror. I also does not blind me at night when cars pass as did the OEM mirror.
Not visible is the solar panel fits on the dashboard and powers the 5 volt fans that attach to the mirror bracket.
