A closing note:
I opened up the top of the dashboard and viewed the area around the screen. I was thinking of placing a ventilation fan in the area above the brake pedal to move cool air through the interior of the dash but found an A/C duct positioned to the right of the screen and about level with it. The duct pulled off its vent easily and I wire tied it next to the screen pointing across the back plate. Running the fan showed very good coverage over the entirety of the back plate. As a bonus, the vent this duct connected to was always chilling my right knee so I won't miss it at all.
If I'm lucky it will extend the screens lifetime considerably. I'll let you know what happens after my next jaunt on Tuesday to Savanna and then on to Jupiter Florida on the 2nd.
Regards,
Mike
