Best way to cover the vent under the spare?
I don't care to much for the look with the spare on the back door and I think it looks a lot better without it, on my old H3 I just put a piece of wrapping vinyl to cover it but I feel now that I got the Alpha there has to be a more professional way to cover it.
Saw pictures on a camo hummer H3 on the forums who just put a baking pan on there, what other solutions do you guys have that look somewhat factory? |
Any way that you decide to cover the vent make sure that there is still a vent in the piece you cover it with. EX: baking pan, cut out holes in the bottom for the cabin to vent (equalize air pressure between the cabin and the outside). Your HVAC (A/C and Heating) system will need that to properly heat and cool the cabin.
I have a question for you. What are you going to do with the spare? Inside, on the roof, no spare???? |
I think the best way to cover the vent is with a spare tire.
H3's look weird without a spare back there. |
^x2;)

H3 looks weired with the spare? i think that its what makes the rear end look so good. besides i would hate to be out and about and some how get a flat tire and have no spare to replace it with

I have a question for you. What are you going to do with the spare? Inside, on the roof, no spare???? Not mention the cabin pressure when closing doors, especially that big rear cargo door (ouch!). Also, IIRC you posted pictures of a shaved rear door on an H3 you saw at the dealer and how it was in there almost weekly with HVAC issues. I honestly think with the way the H3 bumper is designed, it looks very weird with out a spare tire mounted there but that's just my 2 cents. |
I like the look without the spare, another reason is that it is my wifes car and we live up on a hill so the rear door is heavy for her either to close or open depending on how the hummer is parked.

Darn door is heavy, had it slam into a couple walls while reversed down a hill LOL! But I agree that H3 looks better with tire on.
