What Customers Are Saying
The product features a plastic construction that holds up well over time. The vents are generally easy to install and have an appealing appearance. However, the automatic temperature-controlled opening and closing mechanism is unreliable, with many customers reporting issues with the vents failing to close properly in cold weather. The high price for a plastic product also raises questions about overall value, and some suggest manual vents may be a better option. Overall, the product has mixed reviews, with the core functionality issues undermining the main selling point.

Newer model/no set screws included
Not happy didn't come with requisite set screws. No where indicated I needed to provide them, nor do they tell you what size set screws are needed. This item is pricey enough, and now I need to go back to the store to purchase the screws. Highly disappointed.
