taking off the deck lid on a hot day...
« on: May 16, 2008, 03:01:11 PM »
is this a bad thing to do when its hot out? does it affect the air flow for cooling?  just thought I would ask so I dont bake my motor driving around with no deck lid when its hot out...

Thanks
Shane.

I think it came with a deck lid when it left the factory, that would be a clue ???

What year is your car?  Deck lid have louvers?

I did tests on my car with the bottom of the lid opened by about 6".  No effect on temps.
