Jim,
See =97 http://europaowners.org/main.php?g2_itemId=63921 for pictures
of an ultimate ventilator.
I installed them in my Europa. They work great at providing plenty of
ventilation. Maybe leak a tiny bit when closed but not enough to worry
about. Have never flown in precipitation so I can=92t speak to leaking.
Blue skies & tailwinds,

ventilation compared to the original units. Have not noticed any
problems with rain ingress or water after washing. In flight, with vents
closed, there is a slight draft through the gap.
