Default Tailgate Table Install

I am looking to add a tailgate table. I'm leaning toward the Trailgator Table, since it's a no-drill, JK-specific application. But this table, and other similar tables, cover most of the vent in the tailgate. My question is...is covering the vents like that a problem? I know that the vents are maily for the pressure when you're closing your doors. But does it also allow venting when you're running with the Freedom panels out. I thought I read once where someone blew out their rear window, because they had covered the rear vents and then ran with the Freedome panels out at high speed, but I can't seem to find it now, so my memory might not be right.

I know quite a few people on here have tailgate tables and other things covering part of their tailgate vents. No one has any thoughts or opinions on this?

Make your own, or look at the Vector Offroad table. It doesn't have a back panel, just side supports for the tray.

Those vents help cool your jeep interior.

In hot summer, run the a/c. You will feel it blowing the hot air out the tailgate vent.

After about 10~15 min switch to recirculate for the best cooling efficiencies, I've found.
