JKS JKS8200 Tailgate Vent Cover | Wrangler JK

Eliminating your Jeep's factory spare tire carrier exposes the plastic/rubber factory cabin vent. Without your spare present, his unsightly plastic allows an increased amount of dirt/debris to enter the tailgate and can lead to premature rust & corrosion. Covering it completely, on the other hand, will affect cabin airflow when the top/doors are on and cause the HVAC system not to work properly. This JKS tailgate vent kit replaces the brittle, plastic factory vents with a louvered metal plate to prevent breakage, minimize the likelihood of interference from debris, and allow free airflow as intended by the factory design. Louvered panel provides proper cab ventilation while eliminating the unsightly factory tailgate vent. Louvered design minimizes chance of dirt/debris getting into tailgate " better than factory rubber vent Laser cut 18 gauge steel, new stainless steel hardware Durable gloss black powder coat Will work all vertical and horizontal OE tailgate vent openings
