Ventilation in rear doors mk1 ?

Hi guys,

Project car is coming together nicely. when I remounted the doors I wonder on these square holes ?



Should there be some kind of seals to minimize airflow in to the doors ? When compared to the door stop mechanism with seal and plastig housing, this seems a bit strange just to leave full open ?

any inputs ?

I do know that there are holes in the front doors to allow air flow to dry the inside of the door for rain and such that gets by the window scrapers.  That is if your rain drain puckers at the bottom front edge of the doors aren't clogged with gunk.

what door pucker drains look like.


The ETKA isn't working for me right at the moment to verify that, but yes I think they are open.

Okay thanks mate, they seems quite large for ventilation

And since i don't have the ventilation flaps in the bottom (Is they available anywhere??) I expect there to be much ventilation through the doors  

I can remember that some one had repo flaps available that are behind the door panel, and weather screen. but can't find the post.

Love the colour! Take it its Manilla green
