• shape matched to the cockpit lines and screen housing,
• air channels designed in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.

Such a solution facilitates installation and reduces the risk of unwanted play, rattles, or leaks around the vents.

• Stable screen mounting – reduced risk of vibrations and unwanted sounds while driving.
• Easier installation – construction prepared to work with the original mounting points in the vehicle.
