Has anyone installed or have any comments on installing a couple of Vista vents, light plane cabin ventilators (Aircraft Spruce part No. 13-03500) in the doors of a Europa (photo attached). I would prefer to mount them in the ¼ lights but have been told that the windshield is a stressed item. There’s no maximum speed limit on these vents and definitely need some ventilation while this hot weather continues.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Phil. Have you considered the ultimate vents? They work very well

My post should have read " I would prefer to mount them [the Vista vents]  in the quarter lights [lower corners of the windscreen] but have been told that the windshield is a stressed item." Unfortunately the quarter was written as a figure and did not come through as such on the Matronics list.

Frank,

I already have the Vista vents and was hoping to install them in the windscreen or door windows as they are transparent unlike the Ultimate vents.

Yes guys this is the time to do it in the northern hemisphere

Mine work well enough but were supplied with screws that have a tapered, angled shank., this put undue pressure on the cent and caused starring on the vent which I find unacceptable.. Better to substitute straight screws with no taper on the shank

Bill,

Finally went to install the Vista vents today but found the lower front screen in front of the doors is not flat and will therefore distort the Vista vent when the screws are tightened. How does this affect the operation of the vents and will it put any undue stresses on the windscreen? Any suggestions on the location of the vents?

Thanks in advance.
