Folks- Forever bemused by VW's inability or unwillingness to do something about front A/C in the Westfalia (just CAN'T use that cutsey name), I've been wondering: How about sacrificing that left side "shelf" and installing a blank duct (similar to the one over the sliding door, but without the vents). At the rear, the duct would have a fitting to go into (and replace) the leftmost air director on the A/C unit. At the front, it could terminate in an air director or two. Or a more involved installation might include ductwork that you install above the ceiling panel with a couple of vents to bring the air away from the back of your neck. Maybe even an inline fan to help the air get through the tube. Anyone done something like this on their own? Should I try it and then sell you all copies? -Blaine
