    Nice. I'll be honest and the one I found was around $80 bucks. Just realized that one is priced at bit higher

    Question, is the little inlet hole supposed to act as a scoop, or do you turn it around more like a cowl?

    The weather strip turned out awesome!
    Fortunately I had a couple dry days in a row and no leaks as of yet. As you can see... it's wet up here.

    The inlet from what I read is supposed to kick the debris out. I haven't tried facing it forward. Maybe @NYCO has

    Aren't those the same style as found on some HMMWV? I've been debating about one of these for my airflow. Missed the GB on them by a week or so.

    Similar but honestly haven't looked at them closely enough as to how they operate. I think air is just straight sucked in.
    Now I'm curious. Monday I'll take one apart if I get a chance

    From the little I can find, it looks like placement doesn't matter too much. Since it's an ejection port, probably best to mount it facing the rear of the truck.
    Fun video, proving your point on how it works as well
