Thermador Car Cooler - Main Window Buffer

thingiverse

On many model vintage swamp coolers, they are set up to slip right onto the top of your glass and have metal tabs that form a boxed area where the cooler would go around the top of your window glass. These is a complex block shaped buffer that slips into this recess and receives your automotive glass. This way the swamp cooler can mount as it did originally, without scratching your windows or resorting to crude things like putting cut blocks of foam in there. This one should be printed in flexible filament and is already setup to accept typical automotive 6mm +/- glass. You could theoretically print/use it in non-flex - I think you would have a really fun time installing it into the tab holder, though. There is another "buffer" model that goes with this one to cover the outer metal fingers that do not sit on the glass, to protect your glass from scratching during removal and reinstallation. Just search for "Thermador tang buffer" for that.
