What exactally does that vent do ? it comes in - and goes straight up. I though it was for summer riding. No way do I feel that air.

If you do not feel the air it is working. It is supposed to provide a blast of air up behind the windscreen to break up the turbulence of the air coming over the top of the screen. If you are getting a blast in the face, you might consider a taller windscreen. IIRC stock height is 10".
Salesman told me if it was closed I would feel more head buffeting wearing my helmet. He was right. I agree about the buffeting being a major reason for it.
2015 Tri Glide Vivid Black. Customization work in progress to make it mine-when not riding it.
Absolutely less buffeting with the vent open, the only time I close ours is when we get caught in the rain.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave in a well-preserved body, but to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting...Holy Sh!t What a ride!
I only rode my 16 a short time with stock seat and windshield. Different windshield and a Tall Boy seat went on right away so I never experimented with the vent. Currently with my set up it doesn't make a different with it open or closed on wind, with or without helmet, cooling, or anything else, nadaa, zero. In a heavy downpour of rain it will keep it from coming through.
The only thing I like about it is when in a paid parking lot I can use it to hold the parking receipt.

Couldn't figure out why Harley came out with a pouch that covers the vent.
But glad they did. It's so convenient.
Even before I put the pouch on I still didn't feel much of a difference. Now it just re directs what little air there is.
I do close it when it rains.

On the 2020 Triglide there isn’t a button to close the vent like I had on my 2015 trike. Does anyone know if there is a aftermarket part that would fit the 2020 model? Thank you.
I think there is a harley part that could be put on, check with your dealer. I think one of the people on here when they bought there new 2020 he told them to put on the button for the vent, if my mind works I think it was Posserider, not sure about that, I remember him or somebody posting about this and putting it like it was prior to 2020.
All for now Trampas
When I got my 20 triglide I pulled the fairing when I got home & installed the vent ass. It's not difficult to do. Sure helps when you are caught out in the rain.
