Question about windows with window scoops potentially being installed in a non-aircraft

[didymus]

Are there any types of window material that is thin enough to be installed into a car or truck and still be safe to drive on the road? I see drag cars with some type of plastic. I have a '99 Jeep Cherokee and I need to devise a way to get air into the rear to auxiliary coolers. I was thinking about making scoops and ducting from fiberglass, but I started search for "off the shelf" parts that I could put together and I ended up on this forum on a thread where a guy was asking what yall thought of the window scoops.

Can you think of anyway that I could install some aircraft window scoops? I was thinking if there was a material of the proper thickness I could find some "mom and pop shop" that could cut it to the stock dimensions, then I could cut a hole in it and mount the window scoop the same as any of yall would.

I bet someone reading this has an ever better idea. It doesn't even have to be clear. Right now they're tinted so dark they're basically black anyway. I just thought the clear might work because I already have a white scoop on the hood so the side scoops would be more subdued aesthetically.

 

Anyway, as a "groundling" I apologize for treading upon your airspace, haha. Please tell me yall derogatorily refer to those who can not fly as "groundlings", hahaha...

Boat cuddy cabin air scoops. Intake chrome exhaust side black or chrome. They even have a 3in or 4in collar that is ready for tubing of your preference even dryer duct fits.

Not a scoop, but try searching naca ducts.  Racing suppliers will have them and they might work for what you are trying to accomplish.

That was gonna be my input.    Check a race shop or race fabricator, as this is done pretty routinely on race cars for a number of reasons.    It's not hard to replace a rear side window and put a prefabricated scoop or naca duct in it to supplement air flow somewhere inside.    I wouldn't put a passenger in a seat next to it, though.

Welcome aboard groundling! 

Interesting request…

We have a standard shape window opening…. That gets a standard shape vent… that gets flopped out into the windstream…

The manufacturer of the window, opening and scoop may be non-related…. But…

GLAP is the window provider… and hole cutter… and may have knowledge of the scoop…

Try this thread out…
