Upper Fridge vent blocked off...Why?
I recently purchased a 2013 Sprinter 316bik. It has a slide in the kitchen so the fridge is vented at the bottom (typical) and then it is vented thru the sidewall at the top, not thru the roof as it i...

Refers in slides need all the help they can get. Because of the reinforcing edge around the slide out the upper vent was not mounted high enough to have all of the air flow go over the upper fins before exiting. The metal is to force the air over these fins before exiting. Guess it's better than nothing, but not great. Unfortunately it looks like there may be a dead air space above the top of the opening which is going to disrupt the air flow. If there is you need to add a baffle at a 45 degree angle (between refer and the top of the vent opening) to make the hot air go out the vent, not further up and then back down and out. Sorry, but it's not a very good installation and no you do not want to remove it.
