Setting the hatch to the vehicle causes rather controversial opinions from motorists. First, it is romantic, beautiful and very convenient. But secondly, the car hatch, in any case, is an extra hole in the roof of a vehicle, which is sometimes able to bring a lot of trouble to the driver.

For example, throughout the time, the car hatch may lose its tightness, as a result of which divorces and leakage will be noticeable on the ceiling. In addition, the price of the question is played a big role - car hatches are not suiced, especially if you also consider the cost of installation work. However, there is a way out from the position - the installation of a hatch with your own hands, which will allow you to save a lot of money, besides, it is always nice to realize that you have done something with your own hands.

Automotive hatch, options

The first embodiment of automotive hatches are glass hatches - they are pretty tough with a glass panel.

The second type is soft hatches, they are made with waterproof fabric, which is frowning a hatch frame. In addition, car hatches can be divided into electromechanical and with manual drive.

There are such car owners who want to protect themselves from unnecessary ultraviolet rays, so glass hatches, at the request of the customer, can be equipped with special antisalar protection. However, such protection also implies two versions of the performance - a mixture and lifting. All this, of course, makes for complete satisfaction with various tastes of customers and a variety of fashionable trends.

More recently, most motorists dreamed of a hatch with a manual raising mechanism. This option bribed its simplicity and reliability. However, today, the human "Motor of Progress" raises the car accessories to another, more convenient level. That is why the leading position occupies an electromechanical option.

Buy a hatch to the car, how much is the hatch

The car hatch market is fulfilled by Western companies. However, especially popular - representatives from Europe, in particular Germany and France. A rather bulk assortment may praise the French firm "Automax". Anyone who decided to purchase a hatch of this manufacturer can choose any execution - manual drive or with a sliding system. The last type is particularly interesting, as it represents two options for opening a hatch. In addition, this company has a qualitative range and quite acceptable cost. More sophisticated hatches represent German manufacturers.

Lifting models of hatches have a special property - they are able to raise air flows, as a result of which additional aerodynamic resistance will be created. There are also models more complied with specific vortex air flows, which is why the vehicle is pleasantly ventilated. However, in the installation of hatches there are some nuances. The hatches with the lift system will not suit machines on which the trunk is mounted on the roof. As for the sliding hatches, they are perfectly in contact with the additional luggage compartment and rails.

It is worth noting that the price of a car hatch depends on the type of glass, and there are several of them:

1. Sunglasses.
2. Simple glass.
3. With a relief surface.
4. With a smooth surface.

If the hatch glass is thick, it will better protect you from sunlight, but there will be no effect of open space in your car. When choosing too thin glass, it will not be able to protect you from entering the roof of a heavy item and is able to quickly burn out that, accordingly, lead to the loss of attractiveness as a hatch and a car as a whole.

Relief models of automotive hatches quickly become dirty, and their purification is a very time-consuming occupation, but they are perfectly protected from ultraviolet. But smooth glasses passes the mass of sunlight, but are not able to protect against its harmful effect.

Car hatch, why is it needed

The main purpose of the hatch is to improve the ventilation of the cabin. Luke is able to create an additional air flow, as a result of which another direction arises for the movement of air flow. Accordingly, the cabin is effectively blown out, which is noticeable, for example, when standing in a traffic jam or while driving at low speed.

It is important that the hatch allows you to air the salon, while without opening the side windows. Quite often, it can be needed on rural primer, because smaller dust flies in the hatch. In addition, the hatch will also be useful on high-speed tracks, because it arises much less noise through it than through the open window.

Setting the hatch to the car - step by step instructions

1. First of all, it is necessary to tightly close the seats of a piece of tarpaulin or similar material, which is close to it in quality and density to avoid damage to the inner furnace of the cabin, as well as for its protection against contamination.
2. Next, take a template and check the position of the opening from the inside of the vehicle. At the same time, it is most important not to hurt lighting plants and other significant devices that are installed on the ceiling.
3. If you have already decided on the place, we take a sewer and pushing them through the roof of the machine and the ceiling of the ceiling. These punctures take the position of the template to the roof of the vehicle with the highest accuracy, which will allow you to spend all the necessary markups outside.
4. At first glance, it would be more logical to cut the opening under the hatch with an electric bison, but it is able to leave unnecessary sawdust and jar on metal, because of which the paint coating of the vehicle will be damaged, so we will use the electric drill, pre-sticking the greasy tape for the entire perimeter on the roof . Then choose a suitable drill and make a through hole in the roof metal so that it is possible to push the scissors for the metal, after which it is slow and gently cut out the desired part of the sheet material.
   
5. The carved piece will not need to be needed more, so it needs to be postponed. Then the knife or spatula separated the felt isolation, which is recticed below. After that, we cut the shoe knife to the decorative part of the ceiling and cross the spar, which supports the flexible metal roof.
6. Next, it is necessary to carefully remove the half of the cut-down spar and lay a sheet metal cut, which will protect the edge of the opening.
7. After that, we clean the edge of the opening from the glue and the heat insulator.
8. In the upper frame of the hatch there is a special groove in which the sealing and sealing cord should be paved.
9. Fresh hatch with screws and screws.

Tools assistants

1. Screwdriwer set.
2. Strong scissors for metal.
3. Painting tape.
4. Wide spatula.
5. Electric drill.
6. Long awl.
