About Cowl Top Ventilator Louvre
One of the most important components, whose function is to provide protection to the interior of a car’s engine compartment, is the cowl top panel ventilator. This is a panel that can be found at the bottom of the vehicle’s windscreen in close proximity to where the windscreen wipers are connected to the car. Whilst it is important that the cowl top panel prevents unwanted items of debris, such as mud, leaves and sticks from penetrating the engine compartment it is also important that it permits adequate ventilation.
The MINI MINI driverside cowl top ventilator louvre provides this much needed ventilation on the driver’s side of the vehicle. It is able to achieve this because the MINI MINI cowl top louvre on the driverside has a set of ventilation grilles cut into it. These are sufficiently small to prevent objects from getting inside the panel but large enough to allow air to get in and out.
If the MINI MINI cowl top ventilator louvre on the driverside or the passengerside becomes damaged and begins to allow debris to infiltrate the engine compartment it should be replaced right away in order to prevent the consequential damage that might be caused to the engine and other mechanical components within the engine compartment.
MINI trivia
- The Morris Minor Mini was the first British car to sell over one million units. It reached that landmark number back in 1961.
- The Mini's designer, Sir Alec Issigonis, didn't like car windows that had to be rolled down. In fact, he didn't think that cars should have side windows at all!
- 10 years after he invented the Austin Mini, Sir Alec Issigonis was knighted in 1969 for his contribution to Britain.
- The Mini has been voted second place in the most influential cars of all time. It was narrowly beaten by the Ford Model T.
- Minis are still made in the same production site as the original line. The same site is still used in Oxford, although their car panels are now made in Swindon, and most of the engines made for Mini cars are manufactured by BMW in Hams Hall.
