Tailgate Vent Cover 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK JKS Manufacturing

Eliminating your Jeep's factory spare tire carrier exposes the plastic/rubber factory cabin vent. Without your spare present, this unsightly plastic allows an increased amount of dirt and debris to enter the tailgate and can lead to premature rust and corrosion.

Covering it completely, on the other hand, will affect cabin airflow when the top or 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.

Features:

• Louvered panel provides proper cab ventilation while eliminating the unsightly factory tailgate vent.
• Louvered design minimizes the chance of dirt and debris getting into the tailgate, better than the factory rubber vent.
• Laser-cut 18 gauge steel, with new stainless steel hardware.
• Durable gloss black powdercoat.
• Will work with all vertical and horizontal OE tailgate vent openings.
• Includes tailgate plugs for the 3rd brake light wiring hole and spare tire bumper holes for a clean, finished look.
• Can be used in conjunction with the JKS License Plate Relocation Kit JKS8210.
• Can be used in conjunction with the factory spare tire carrier.
• Also fits right-hand drive models.
