What do the door vents do?

Post by Jonni »

Just out of interest. My van has two blue coloured door vents at the bottom of each of the cab doors. What are they for?

I have often wondered this too :roll:

So they just let air out then ?

I am at my desk now, so cannot see them, but, iirc don't they have a duct the goes through the door to somewhere up front ?

I always thought they were for letting fresh air from the outside to reach the rear of the van, though on checking whilst driving, I could never detect owt coming out of them !
