Is Redline 2-Way Pop-Up Roof Vent Waterproof When Fully Closed

Question

Question:

I want to install one of these on the front cap of my Motor Homes roof. I have a lot of heat build up between the windshield and the TV cabinets that I want to vent out. If I open the vent to the rear will it draw out the hot air when going down the road? My concern is how tight it is when closed and driving in a heavy rain, will it leak? Thanks for your help.

The Redline 2-Way Pop-Up Roof Vent, part # 9106-2756 adjusts in steps from fully closed to keep rain or air out, to fully open to let fresh air in.

This vent can be installed with the vent facing either direction and being able to open the vent toward the front or the back, it will let you add fresh air to cool down the TV cabinets you said have a lot of heat build-up.

The recommended screws for installing the part #9106 that you referenced is the #31071. This would work well on a sheet metal trailer wall/roof. The garnish part #2756 would then fit over them just fine.
