Steel vent plate from JKS

Eliminating your Jeep's factory spare tire carrier exposes the plastic/rubber factory cabin vent. Without your spare present, his unsightly plastic allows an increased amount of dirt, 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/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.
