Cut hole in roof
I just want to cut a hole somewhere in the cabin for ventilation. I think the roof would be ok since heat flows up. But can you think of an easier place to cut a small hole?
What are my worries? One is that I have to worry about water coming in to the cabin if its on the roof.
What about the floor?

So, you guys don't modify your cars?
I already made plenty of mods to my honda civic.
I've mounted a solar panel in the rear dash. An AGM battery in that space next to the spare tire. A small hole in the trunk floor with a tube extending to the cabin ... why? It's easier than flinging mucus out the window and hitting a cop.
LED lights on the ceiling. LED daytime running lights.
Well, I'm cutting a hole somewhere.
And another thing, those window vents don't work and I have to crack open a window in a bad neighborhood.

Yeah, I just did. It felt great. Until someone opened the door and let out all the carbon monoxide.
Why is everyone so against making my own vent?
BTW what is that? a break light?
We're not against it. We're just considering the pragmatic options.
If you cut a hole, consider this:
1) How does it open and close?
2) How do you prevent water from entering?
3) If water does enter, how do you deal with it?

EGAD!! No! A bear can climb in one of those vents!
I'm looking at one of these:

Like a one or two inch hole.

oh god.
i dont get it. are you trying to keep the car cool in the summer or do you like to rip *** and jump out of the car real quick.
not only that, youll never sell a car with a hole in the roof if it ever comes to it

2)you dont its a hole in the roof
3)cut a hole in the floor directly beneath the hole in the roof
dude its a honda, if they want in they will get in. 80% of older hondas can be opened with a screwdriver or a coathanger. Im assuming this is an older honda because you are considering cutting a hole in the roof, and then questioning people because they flamed you




I wouldn't do it personally, especially on a car like a Honda. It doesn't even have a chance to "blend in" at all.

I don't think the world is really losing anything if one Honda Civic gets a hole cut in it's roof though.
