Poor air circulation
Hey all,

Maybe I'm the only one with this problem, but I feel like the air in my Clubman gets stale and doesn't circulate. I don't have a moonroof I can vent either. I'm wondering if anyone has ever added venting rear windows (see photo) like some older cars have. Any other tips on circulating the air?

Cool idea, but given how the rear glass fits under the side and roof trim I don't see that as an option.

...Good point grussell! I will try that out. The car has less than 20,000 on it, so I didn't even think about that. Hopefully it's all I need!

You can get new Mann cabin filters from Amazon for about $15.
