Do you use your vent windows?
 

Just for conversation purposes...I was sitting at a red light in my 69 and got to thinking about the wing windows. Before I quit smoking, I used the driver side religiously but since then, I think it was opened twice!

So lets see how popular the long, gone but not forgotten wing window is today. :D

I'm sorry they ever did away with them. Efficient way to direct air into the cab, though it adds to the drag coefficient!:lol:

Old trucks are like feminine pads, gotta have wings!

creates great airflow.

If you can get them to turn back far enough they cool your testicles nicely. :lol:

LOL! @green.

Good one Green! :lol:

since the a/c doesn't work in my truck, i have to use them. in houston, with it getting up to 100º in the shade, i need all the cooling that i can get

Vent windows rule!

If I ever get my truck on the road, I'll use the hell out of them. :)

I don't hardly ever use mine.a/c in the burb and no top on the blazer 99% of the time.But I do like the looks of the wing window.

Are they suppose to open????!?! :D





Actually I forget about them most of the time since I'm not driving it much and my 96 has mr.cool in it.

yep, a/c baby. my old 71 didnt have it and the wings were always open then.. they work really well, unlike wings on the newer cras and trucks

I would probably use mine if they weren't broken!

only when i fart and need to get the fresh air to muh face

Are they supposed to close? New LMC rubber sticks up thickly toward bottom rear. I have to push it down with finger and then close window.

always use em for air im fat and hot in the summer!!!

Some of these responces are awsome!
I use mine all the time, either to help with the crappy ventilation system, or to reduce the wind beating me up when i cruise over 45 MPH.
I wish they still had them, but with the aerodynamic shapes the newer cars have, it wouldn't be the same. (ever notice if you just crack the window on a 'modern' car, the wind comes in and beats the crap out of you?)
As a smoker they are awsome too, if I am too busy to grab my cigg from my mouth to flick the ashes...I just blow the ashes in that general direction, and they magicly go out the vent if i am doing more than 30 MPH with the big window rolled up.

I voted no in the poll, but I don't think I've ever used them to their full potential. Which is to say, I don't think I've really used them at all. Hmm, you say they're supposed to deflect air onto you? I'll have to try that out, what with the a/c not working and all :)

If you have your window down all the way, and you open the vent about 2 or 3 inches, it will deflect the wind off your face, but the air will still venilate your cab real good.

Use the wings ALL THE TIME! The only reason I ever close them is because where I work someone would steal them off my truck.

my driver side door is stuck in the up position so i use all my vents...

I answered "yes, and I am a smoker".....but I quit smoking.....just haven't driven the truck since then :(

I too am dismayed that new vehicles don't have them. I smoke and use them all the time.

Yup, and they can also funnel in the occasional bumblebee...

which usually ends up in the same area... :eek:

Whoops, yeah I think I got that backwards. Seeing as how the vents open out it would deflect the wind away from you. Thanks LHM for straightening me out.

Now I just have to get out and try that! Darn cold though, I'm sick today, so no driving for me :( Lonely day indoors.
