Door vent workarounds on SO 440

[knotyour4verageboat]

I've got a 2022 SO 440, and I have to say, I'm not really a fan of the vents on the cabin doors. Over the winter, I taped them up to keep the heat in, but I know that's not going to cut it when summer rolls around. So, I'm curious,has anyone found a better workaround besides just replacing the doors? I'd love to hear about any creative solutions you've tried!

Totally get it, those vents can be a pain! From what I know, some tried using magnetic vent covers or cutting foam inserts that fits in the openings. Those are easy to remove when you want airflow and they don't leave a mess. Might be worth a try but let's see if others here have other suggestions

Have you tried adding mesh or bug screen behind the vent to cut airflow without fully sealing it? That might work too!

I've got a 2021 SO 440 and ran into the same issue last winter while working up in Alberta. I just taped the vents and it helped, but summer was a different story. I ended up using custom-cut foam inserts backed with reflective foil for winter, and swapped them for snap-on mesh screens in summer.
