    Just giving everyone a heads up if you buy or have the taco tunes sub-woofer box. It pushes out the air vent and then lets water come into your cab. I am currently trying to figure out how to modify it so it doesn't do that. After it gets pushed out though , the plastic tabs that hold the vent in place become bent and it will no longer seal. I will put a picture up once I have time and if anyone else has had this happen to them, what was your work around thanks.

    Aren't these vents essential for the proper operation of the heat/AC/defroster, etc? Seems like you'd especially need them in areas that experience lots of poor weather. Ever closed your dash vents in a snowstorm?...windows get all foggy.

    I shouldnt have to glue a hole shut on a 2016. just feels weird to me lol. I like the dynamat idea but that requires removing the whole vent.

    Hey Oldman - believe it or not rainy and chilly today - had some ice last night. You probably can't say the same.

    i was told it was needed to keep your truck Windows from fogging up. I would ask ********* to build you a box designed for 3rd gen.

    Last time I looked I couldn't see where to remove it , but i am going to go with the dynamat and silicone sealant. Maybe I wasnt looking good enough. Are there screws or clips on the back part of the vent. And thanks for all the help :)
