AirLock™ — Fix for the Bronco A-Pillar Vent Bleed (Warm Air Through the Vents When Running Floor Heat)

[VantageLab]

Mine are the carbon fiber option. Does not look like cheap carbon sticker either. Just a nice matte finish that’s subtle and blends w my badlands interior. Also big fan of customer support: exceptional — looking forward to more parts!

Thank you, I love hearing that! I take customer support very seriously and will do my best to take care of any issues.

If you have any ideas for things you want to see on the Bronco, I’m all ears!

And to everyone that placed an order already, I’m working to get them out to you as quick as I can!

I solved cold feet by installing 1/2" closed cell foam between carpet and floor pan. Didnt even take out the carpet just popped off rhe rocker trim.

Proven to work in extreme cold.

While driving through mountains today at 6AM at 6C with other driver I slipped off my barefoot shoes, and turned on auto heat to 71F. When I cracked up open a window I noticed the foot heat airflow increased dramatically.

Seems like my tailgate sub is blocking air flow out the tailgate by creating positive pressure cabin when should be negative pressure with great ventilation.

Check if any tailgate vent blockage or simply open one window 1/2 in for more heat air flow.

Oh yeah, I’m AirLockin’ my Bronco today.

Solid construction. Like the way they snap open and closed very positively. Look OEM.

Thanks for the quick shipping, Mike!

If you've ever cranked the heat to the floor and still felt warm air pushing through the A-pillar vents, you're not imagining it. It's a known HVAC quirk on the Bronco and it's been bugging me since I got my '23 Badlands.


Introducing the AirLock™

The AirLock replaces your factory A-pillar grille with a spring-loaded cam pivot design that snaps fully open or closed in one motion. No tools, no tape, no adhesive — completely reversible. When it's closed, the bleed stops. When you want airflow back, one push and it's open.




Details

• Drop-in replacement for the factory grille
• Spring-loaded cam pivot — snaps open and closed on demand
• No permanent modifications
• Made in the USA from carbon fiber-reinforced plastic
• Available in Textured Black and Carbon Fiber Infused Finish

I understand you’re trying to sell a product, but it’s not air bleed.

Not sure I’m following you here. What do you mean?

I’m probably the anomaly who likes the a pillar heat vents. Agree floor heating is terrible but I like having they spot to worm up my hands without having the dash vents blowing hot air in my face.

I like you can open and close these giving you choice
