What Customers Are Saying
The product has a mixed reception. The vents are generally easy to install and durable, but the automatic temperature-controlled opening and closing mechanism is unreliable, with many reports of the vents failing to close properly in cold weather. While the appearance is positive, the core functionality is inconsistent, which undermines the main selling point. The price is also a concern for some, who feel the vents are overpriced for the quality and performance.

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.
