Abstract: The invention relates to a safety ventilating panel for use in vehicles provided with retractable windows mounted in a window frame. The safety panel is mounted on top of a window panel, and a sealing gasket attached to the bottom edge of the safety panel receives a top edge of a slightly retracted window. The safety panel is provided with a plurality of angularly oriented openings to allow creation of vacuum on the interior side of the vehicle. An outwardly convex panel body facilitates creation of a pressure differential for a more effective airflow from the interior of the vehicle. A safety flange secured on the interior side of the safety panel extends upwardly and inwardly in relation to the safety panel body to prevent intrusion into the vehicle by unauthorized persons.
