Air duct outlets for use on inclined surfaces within vehicles are provided. An air duct outlet includes a body having a fascia with an opening formed therein. A louver assembly is disposed within the fascia opening and is movable between a first position substantially flush with the fascia and a second position substantially nonflush with the fascia. The louver assembly includes a housing having an inlet and an outlet. A set of louvers are secured within the housing in spaced-apart adjacent relationship and are configured to adjust the direction of air flowing through the housing. An actuator extends from the fascia adjacent the opening and is operably connected with the louver assembly. Movement of the actuator within a first range causes pivotal movement of the louvers, and movement of the actuator within a second range causes pivotal movement of the louver assembly between the first and second positions.

Storage apparatus are provided that are configured to be attached to the interior roof of a vehicle. A panel is configured to be secured to a vehicle interior roof and includes an aperture formed therein that is configured to allow an interior light attached to the interior roof of a vehicle to extend therethrough. The cover is configured to be movable between a closed position in face-to-face adjacent relationship with the panel and an open position for providing access to the one or more storage compartments. The cover includes an aperture formed therein. When the cover is in a closed position, the vehicle interior roof light can illuminate the vehicle interior through the aperture and lens in the cover. When the cover is moved to an open position, the light can also illuminate the one or more storage compartments in the cover.
