Getting air to 3rd row?

Hey everyone! Been a while since I've posted here, which is good! My E320 wagon just keeps trucking along.

We are taking a road trip in a couple of weeks and will be using the third row seating. Trouble is, it gets HOT back there. Has anyone devised a way to keep air circulation going to the third row? I was hopeful that the "vents" on the passenger side were HVAC related, but it looks like it's related to venting for the subwoofer.

I'm considering cigarette lighter powered fans but would like to see what anyone else has done. I've searched the site but can't find much. Surely some clever soul has devised an ingenious solution.

Thanks as always guys!!

Nathan

Good question, we only use ours around town for short trips. Small fans might help, are your windows tinted? On our previous wagon that made a huge difference.
