Safe fresh air supply - available in two different lengths
This little helper is ideal for ventilating the vehicle - via the tailgate it ensures an optimum supply of fresh air.
Improved air circulation can be achieved, for example, in combination with a side ventilation grille for the sliding window or our VanEssa mosquito nets. The tailgate is opened approx. 10 cm, but still remains locked and burglar-proof.
Another advantage: ventilation with the hook is also possible in the rain - it does not rain through the boot lid.
The hook is simply hooked into the lower locking bar and serves as an extension to the original lock.
For wide tailgates (thick panelling, California Beach with chairs, etc.) the extra-long hook is suitable, as otherwise hardly any air can get in. We give our customers the choice: the standard hook results in a smaller but usually sufficient ventilation gap. The extra-long version extends the gap by another 4cm, thus allowing more air to penetrate.
For some vehicle types, only one variant (standard or extra-long) can be selected; in these cases, the other variant is not suitable.
