I am getting ready to install two computer fans in the glare shield for defrost. What are others doing to keep stuff from falling into the fan? I did a search but can find any pictures. I would prefer not to use surface mounted grills the stick up.
I drilled 6 or 8 3/8” holes in a circle. If anything falls in it isnjust going to hit the floor anyway.
But I only put a fan in front of the pilot. Wish I put one on the passenger side too. I use them to keep the G3x screens cool; it seems to really help on the hot days when the sun is shining from behind onto the screens.
Carl,
What is the covered item to the right of your fan?
GPS antenna?
Covered for aesthetics? To keep it cool?
I just made mine. Holes are 5/16 or 3/8”.

Help me understand the goal of this cover ... just what exactly are you trying keep out? or increase airflow? or just make it look better.
My fans are uncovered and seem to work fine, anything that falls in goes right on thru and the tech look of the fan blades is appealing.

Sorry, couldn't resist

And ever since getting my Ensign butt chewed off by a crusty maintenance chief on day one, NOTHING goes on my glare shield except light!
Cheers
