How deep is the back vent? My hatch window opens up to about 2". Does the vent allow the hatch window to open all the way? I have a 2000 GMC Sierra 1500 Extended Cab.

No, it won't be able to fully open. It will open about 3/4 of the way and then hit the vent.
1784663
It allows it to open all the way. The only bad thing is the visor sticks out pretty far to allow it to do so. Kind of making it look like the truck has Mickey Mouse ears from the front or the back
1784664
Yes it does. It expands out, starts normal but by the time it gets to the back side it expands. Purchased mine earlier in the year, no issues. I should have gone for the package with a bug shield.

We have them on our 2001 Chevy 1500 extended cab and the hatch windows open all the way with the visors.
1784666
YES it does. We put ours on a Chevy Silverado 3/4 ton. D o what we did before we took off the tape strip, we held them in place above the window, then we opened the window to be sure it would not hit. My husband had to move vent up just a hair but, it worked out nice and looks really sharp on the truck. We did use alcohol wipes first to clean the area

you will have plenty of room to open the back 2 windows fully. In the reviews somebody complained they couldn't open the windows however found out they installed them backwards. Make sure its angled to the rear and you will be good to go.

Will these fit a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado extended cab 1500 with the suicide rear doors and the push out rear hatch windows .

I bought these for my father. He is very happy with them. His truck is also a 2000 Sierra Ext. Cab. They do NOT inhibit the window openings.

I have a hatchback and I have no issues accessing the hatch when rack is empty. When ab bike is on the rack, my handlebars hit the hatch....but I believe it will fold out to make that room. The ends fold up easily and locks into place with pins. Hope this helps and I drive a Chevy Malibu Maxx.

It swings open to form an "L" SHAPE. It opens past 90 a bit. My hatch openopens with plenty of room to spare. Toyota 4runner.

You better measure all the dimensions of the old part: body- diameter and length and every feature exactly (don't forget the screws and bolts at ends) and determine if this part will fit your vehicle without interference. You have a lot more room on the hatch back location then on the tight quarters I used it for: inside a Weatherguard tool chest. You have less interference on the Hatch back application. I used this same supra gas spring for the hatch back on my Leer Cap Rear window on a F150. It works great. Make sure spring is not to stiff (too much force required to close. Should match old specification of old gas spring. ) A few pound plus or minus won't matter.

23" from top of bed rail to top of headache rack 1" goes inside bed to prevent coming out of bed. On 2006 GMC Sierra headache rack is .75" above roof of truck and .75" wider than cab to give the most protection. Will also fit in 04 Ram nicely as well as Ford super duty.

No they don't. The only thing that opens is the back hatch. But it's very easy for kids to get in and out of the truck. My grandson is small for his age and has no problems getting in and out or opening the back hatch. He absolutely loves this truck!

installed in 22.5" x 54" opening no problem , as long as minimum size opening is at least 22" x 22" you can make it as big as you want to make a door or hatch cover

Hello Arnie, Unfortunately we only have the exhaust vent coming out of the top and not out of the back of any of our models. Thank you, Range Hood Direct Buy

It doesn't limit the door from opening all the way UNLESS you don't leave enough space for it. In the directions they recommend you leave at least 3.5 inches between the HINGES you are going to mount the item on and the wall behind it. If you leave less space than this, the door will not be able to open all the way. Also check the wall behind the door for molding (ex: chair rail) that may leave less than 3.5 inches, because these also will get in the way.

I have a GMC Envoy. I have to pull the pin at the bottom to drop the bikes down to get the hatch opened. I can open the glass window without moving the bikes. If you have a car, the trunk should open without interference from the rack.

I notice that they don't show the back of the door on purpose. I just got the PDS-500, and the black box that is covering the works, and takes up most of the back of the door, is about 1 3/8 ". The distance from bottom, without pad, to rail is about 3 3/8. That only leaves 2" inside for stuff. So, how deep is the works plastic thing? Must be less on this one. Are you sure of your depth inside with door closed?I might be getting this one, though it does cost 75% more. Let me know. Thanks!

Good day, we do offer a clearance chart to determine if a certain box will clear the hatch of the vehicle. In most cases, customers are happy to receive the additional storage space so being able to fully open the hatch 85-90% of the way isn't as much of a concern as it will allows ample rear access. However, if you do want to be sure the box will clear the hatch when mounted to the factory crossbars, we recommend visiting a dealer to view the dimension chart and instructions for obtaining the front clearance dimension. You can also contact Thule direct, and we can email that to you. Thanks!

My GMC truck front bumper has a plastic shroud that connects to the front, vertical face of the bumper, then bends horizontally and flows about 3' toward the front decorative radiator grill. I place mine on that 3" 'ledge' created by the shroud. Look at any GMC Sierra ad - look closely at the bumper - and you'll see it. Hope this helps!

Best thing we ever bought! You need to measure the depth of your cover, and double it. Ours is probably 8". Makes it very easy to open and close. If it doesn't fit that direction, maybe you could shift the direction you open the cover?

I remember it measured 12 inches. Sorry I can't find the extension at the moment as it is buried (lost) somewhere in my garage. I can tell you that when installed it allowed for complete clearance (height and length) with the tailgate of a full sized RAM 1500 with standard factory hitch, of course what matters is the hitch and bumper location relative to your tailgate. When I find it I will measure and post an exact answer for you.

If I understand your question, you are concerned with the door on which the Cabidor is installed not opening fully? If that is your question, remember you need FOUR FULL INCHES clearance in which to install the Cabidor so the range of neither door will be compromised/restricted. If you have 4" available (I was only able to buy one because no other door in my home had a 4" clearance except the back of my bedroom closet door), I can highly recommend the Cabidor. It is a very low-profile, excellent solution to the problem of extra storage.

Sorry for the delay in answering. It attaches to your existing vent cover. Very easy installation. Requires drilling of four holes to attach the mounts. Then you attach the Maxxair Vent cover to the mounts. It took me approximately 15 minutes. Your existing cover can be raised and left open during rain and while you are traveling. However, your cover will only open 3/4 of the way, which still gives you plenty of ventilation. The quality of the plastic cover is quite good.
