What is this opening/lever for?
Hi guys,
I noticed today on both drivers and passengers side, there is this door handle type lever. If I pull on it, a "door" for lack of a better word, opens. What in the world is this? ![]() ![]()

Re: What is this opening/lever for?
it's essentially a passive-air vent setup. At 0mph, there's not much effect. But at 90 (yes, been there, done that

Re: What is this opening/lever for?
...is our age showing?
I gotta remember that there are young people on this site. I never had a vehicle with air conditioning until '79. For that matter, neither did my house. My school bus doesn't have it and therefore I drive my '96 GMC w/o using the AC unless the bride is riding. But, those vents and vent windows were what made it possible to cruise through western Texas in the summer of '69 in my '64 Bonneville ragtop w/o AC. Yeah, it was hot....but, it was a DRY heat.....lots and lots of dry heat.
