FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions — Series Air Scoops
1. What is a Series Air Scoop?
The Series Air Scoop is a versatile airflow accessory designed to help drivers improve in-cabin ventilation in hot weather and reduce condensation on windows during cold or rainy conditions. It’s ideal for vintage, classic, and modern vehicles that need a simple yet effective airflow solution.
2. How does it work?
The scoop channels external air into the cabin by attaching to the vehicle’s side window (driver or passenger side). This helps to:
• Cool down the interior during warm weather
• Demist or defog windows quickly in cold or wet conditions
• Improve comfort during driving or when stationary with the engine off
3. What types of vehicles are compatible with Series Air Scoops?
The product is compatible with most vehicles that have sliding or roll-down side windows. It’s especially popular with classic vehicles, camper conversions, utility 4x4s, and off-roaders that lack built-in air conditioning or cabin fans.
4. What is the maximum recommended speed for using the scoop?
The Series Air Scoop is designed for a maximum driving speed of 45 mph when deployed at full scoop. Using the scoop beyond this speed may result in excessive air resistance, noise, or product stress.
5. Can I leave the scoop mounted while driving at higher speeds?
Yes, but with precautions. If you plan to drive above 45 mph, we recommend adjusting the scoop angle so it lies flatter against the window surface. This creates a more aerodynamic profile and reduces drag, ensuring it stays secure and functions safely. However, optimal airflow benefits are achieved below the 45 mph limit.
6. Is the Series Air Scoop easy to install and remove?
Absolutely. It’s designed for quick, tool-free installation and removal. It fits securely over the window edge and can be adjusted in seconds. No permanent modifications are required.
7. Can I use the scoop during rain?
Yes. The scoop’s design allows airflow while minimizing rainwater entry. It’s especially effective in clearing condensation and helping keep visibility clear in damp conditions.
8. Will the scoop damage my windows or paintwork?
Not at all. The scoop is constructed with smooth, vehicle-safe materials and edge protectors to prevent scratches or pressure marks when installed correctly.
9. Can I leave the scoop on when the vehicle is parked?
Yes, many users leave the scoop installed when parked to allow passive airflow and reduce cabin heat buildup. Just ensure it is securely fastened and angled to prevent water entry in case of unexpected rain.
10. What materials is the Series Air Scoop made from?
The scoops are made from durable, UV-resistant ABS or polycarbonate (depending on the version), ensuring they hold up well in outdoor conditions and daily use.
11. Can I paint or customize my air scoop?
Yes! The product can be painted using plastic-compatible paints if you wish to color-match it to your vehicle or add a custom touch.
12. Is the product legal to use on public roads?
The Series Air Scoop is a passive, non-mechanical accessory and generally road-legal in most areas. However, we recommend checking your local vehicle accessory laws, especially regarding protruding items on windows or doors.
