Product Description
AutoVent SPV silently and efficiently eliminates stale, stuffy air from inside your vehicle, even on the hottest summer days! While your windows remain securely closed this unique solar-powered ventilator draws hot air and odors, including pet and tobacco odors out of your vehicle and replaces it with fresh air from outside. Since AutoVent SPV runs directly on natural, FREE solar energy, there's no drain on your vehicles battery and no batteries to replace or recharge ever! Installation is easy! Simply attach the included weatherproof fitting strips, place the unit on top of the window edge and roll the window closed. AutoVent SPV helps to preserve and protect your vehicles interior, valuable stereo and electronic equipment from the damaging effects of extreme heat build-up. AutoVent SPV also assists in reducing the strain on your air-conditioning system during start-up. Please note that this product loses effectiveness on cars with tinted windows. This is due to the fact that solar energy cannot penetrate through the tint.

1 out of 5 stars Not a Good Product.   June 18, 2008
The problems of ths product are:

1) It doesn't fit in my windows. I'ved tried it in my 2 cars but still it doesn't fit in it.

2) The weather strips are too short. I searched it on the internet for additional weather strips but it was not available. And for all I know is it is really not available in market/stores.

3) The solar plates must be facing directly to sunlight. There are some instances that the AutoVent is not working because of the angle of sun rays.

4) The strips are hardly to remove. If you set it up for the leftside of your car window, it should always be at the left side. if you choose to change the position to the right window, it is hard to remove the strips from the AutoVent to set it up for the right window.

5) the AutoVent is not practical if you are installing it up if you are in a hurry.



1 out of 5 stars Solar Powered Car Ventilator that's a waste of money   January 26, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Had high hopes for this ventilator, as a Florida resident, but it was a bummer from the getgo. Tried to install it in a 2004 Corolla and simply couldn't get it to fit. An hour of messing around and I dumped it in the garbage. Might fit your car, but I don't think it's worth the effort.

It does not work unless you point it directly at the sun, and then not very well. This item is useless.

A great product at a great price. Unlike other imitations, the TWI-7001 has a built in moisture seal at the top. Rain does not get in; dust does not get in. The hot air goes out and the temperatures are markedly lower that before.

The only draw-back is that you have to teach your wife to take it out of the window before going through the automatic car wash. Water (and soap) can and does come in at the angle sprayed. Yet despite being totally soaked, the TWI-7001 AutoVent Solar-Powered Ventilator still works like new.

This item does not work with even light tint on the window. Must have direct sunlight or fan will not operate.
