Abstract
A vented roof panel is provided for an overhead portion of a roll-over protection system of an off-road vehicle. The vented roof panel comprises a planar member that includes a shape and a curvature that match the overhead portion to enable closely attaching the vented roof panel to the roll-over protection system. The planar member is formed of any of various plastics, such as injection molded plastic, or other similar materials. An air scoop including an air inlet port is centrally disposed in the planar member. The air inlet port is disposed in a forward-facing portion of the air scoop and configured to direct an airstream from outside to underneath the vented roof panel. The vented roof panel may be attached to tubular frame members comprising the roll-over protection system by way of one or more suitable fasteners.
