Re: Quiet Vent

[Ramy]

I finally installed Bumper's Quiet Vent. I must admit I was first a bit
intimidated by the length of the instructions, until I realized all I
need to do is to stick it...
It works! I can now hear my vario when the vent is open. Thanks Bumper.

Yeah, my Quiet Vent is still sitting in my car, since it looked like it
would take all day to install it.

Ramy,

Thanks for the review!

" . . . stick it . . .", huh?! - - grin

Well, it is important to at least "stick it" on straight. Will readily admit
I tend to be a bit verbose w/ instructions. After all, how could a simple
"stick it" require one whole page with a picture too?

Notwithstanding, if anyone doesn't get their QV stuck on just right (after
reading those instructions), please return QV (with SASE) for free repair or
replacement. Satisfaction is guaranteed.

Winds out of the NE, so awesome ridge flying on the eastern slopes of the
Sierra today . . . looks to be the same tomorrow . . . Woohooo!!

all the best,

I also purchased a quiet vent, it makes a substancial difference in the
noise created by the vent and I now leave mine open more often.

The best $5 improvement you could make, so incredibly simple
but very effective, bumper must be one clever fellow!

I too ordered and installed the Quiet Vent. I gave another to a
friend. Simple to install and well worth the money. THANKS.

I also installed one, a nice improvement.

BTW I also installed Bumpers yaw string. This one has much better
adhesion than standard tape, and looks really neat.

Cheers

I wasn't too clear on the return-exchange policy. If you bought an old one,
you don't have to wait for it to break or fail. You may simply return it for
a new, better one - - free!

The original Quiet Vent attached to the vent hinge block and can be
recognized as the seal is flat. The original design may come loose if
subjected to freezing tempertures and mechanical stress. The new improved QV
design attaches to the inside surface of the flip-out vent handle (i.e. the
clear adhesive strip is at the rear most edge of the QV). The new QV can be
easily recognized as it is not flat, having a crease or bend next to the
adhesive strip. If you purchased the original design QV, even if it is
functioning properly, you may return it for a free replacement with the new,
improved QV design.

return to:

John Morgan
194 Taylor Creek Rd.
Gardnerville, NV 89460

If you haven't purchased a QV yet, and would like one, please send $5 and a
SASE to the above address. If ordering from outside the US, price is $6 and
no need for SASE.

thank you,
