You could be right……. But I thought they allowed air to exit the vehicle, when you have the front vents open, with all the windows closed, to improve the airflow.
Job complete! The plastic membrane was still good except it was missing down the bottom as someone years ago had added speakers and cut it away. I added new plastic to that part and put the cards back on.
Just my guess ….but the doors also have “air in” penetrations along their front edge .
These would allow air into the interior of the door skin, where the sliding vent is. I’m guessing that this would allow fresh air to circulate into the cab when all the windows are up.
When the heater is on and the cold air intake is shut off, this would be a means of ensuring air balance to the interior.
Could be waaaay off on this but it makes sense to me

You & Alpal are both right. Gave a pair of these to Melissa from Old Boy as we'd been in the snowy for too long in the
70/80's.
They pull air in from the front 'penetrations' @ let air flow in the cab. Not desirable in the snowies & not totally seal able when closed. Always a bit cold on the thigh on the outside edge .
Maybe a Plan B from those German engineers so that you got some fresh air & didn't get asphyxiated from the heater!!!!
Probably good to help dry out the inside of the doors with increased airflow;-)!

I still have at least one of them David - I passed one on to another member.

Hi Aircooled,
Bit late in the reply
To get the position of the offset retaining clips into the right place put play dough over each card pin aperture & then put card on door & thump it all the way around.
The play dough will show at what angle the eccentric clip should be placed.
Remove play dough & insert clip at the known angle.
Gets them 'centred' so there is less strain on the clip at the correct angle!
Once you get the first 6 or 8 in it's then just move around the card.
I started at the door lock pin. A couple on the horizontal & then down the rear of the door & then back up.
Worked a treat even with the bad clips .
Cheers
