Your flaps are probly bad. You need new flaps. You can get them from the dealership. It prevents overpressure from popping out your windows when you close your trunk.

it does more than that. It is part of the "flow through" ventilation system all non-convertables have. Even with the vents closed, there is still always a small amount of air being pulled in and then passed through and out that little vent. Keeps the carbon dioxide from building up, making you loopy, and then killing you.

alex... he's talking about the trunk, not the air vents.
I think I remember seeing it when I replaced my bumper. It had foam around it, and I forgot to put it back on. dunno.gif
Not sure of it's purpose... maybe to prevent carbon dioxide or pressure as mentioned. Did you have to peel back the carpet to see it?

Hes saying that even with the air vents closed some air gets pulled into the cabin by the air getting pulled out of the cabin through the vent in the trunk

I was thinking of a different vent I saw when I pulled the bumer off. (maybe the same one, just saw it from other other side)
