'02 140" 10 pass
The other day it was raining and my wife was driving the sprinter around with the kids and she called me complaining that all the windows were fogging up. I hadn't thought about it before, but the only windows that open are the two front ones! I know that there are tons of posts about installing roof vents and slider windows (one just popped up recently), but I can't find much of anything about those vents in the rear of the van. It seems like they vent into the bumper, but I can't find any information about this in the service manual. Someone in a post mentioned they "removed the rubber flappers" from their vents, but I can't find what they are talking about. Anyone have any drawings or photos of these vents and air passages?
My thoughts are thus:
I have access to tons of old computers, and I was thinking that I could pull the 3" fans out of them and glue/screw two of them on the insides of the vents to pull air out of the van.
I really don't want to cut a hole in my roof, although I see lots of information and step-by-steps here on the forum. And putting in a new window seems to me to be pretty expensive. So that leaves me with the cheap/free solution- use the existing vents.
Any thoughts?
