Re: Question about rear hatch glass..
yes. I have gone 130mph no problem. it holds the glass just as hard as the regular hatch latch does. the corvettegadgetman improved the design and that is the one I got. mine is a two piece design that makes the fit tighter. It is a nice little piece. I never take mine off.

Re: Question about rear hatch glass..
From his website:
Please note: As with all hatch vent devices, it is not recommended to drive the vehicle with the roof on and the hatch open as this could possibly draw exhaust fumes into the passenger compartment. Other situations such as driving slow, heavy tailwind, etc. could reduce air flow through the passenger compartment and allow exhaust fumes to enter through the rear hatch. As with all such hatch vent devices you will notice that there will be some movement of the glass when driving. This is normal as the window is no longer making tight contact with the window seal. Do you get the exhaust is the cab much? Does the glass move much? What about when you want to close the hatch all the way? Do you have to remove it?

Re: Question about rear hatch glass..
Good info there guys! I'll also be ordering one of these from the Gadgetman to replace the POS I got from Mid America.

Re: Question about rear hatch glass..
I have owned a C4 since 1993.. I would say 95% of the time I have the hatch vent in and the hatch popped open.. NEVER had an issue..
as to the gas smell coming in the car with the roof on and windows closed, I suppose it is possible, however, I would recommend removing it if the roof is on and windows are up and it is raining.. Not fun getting pelted in the back of the head with rain drops while doing 70 on the highway.. I have used: this one in the past: This one currently: And I had a custom one made by a member on CF I used as well (not the CF Gadgetman one) I will need to look for a pic of it
