Interior trim

Those vents are just dumb. 
They make the corner so fragile. 

T3’s finally got it right and had a cut out for the whole corner. 

That all said - I have absolutely no idea what that vent does???

I think you will find air comes in from the front through the door and you slide that blue cover either open or closed.

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.

Very happy with the results. Shout out to Just Kampers door cards:

Looks good. Not sure what the vents do or what they were meant to do but they were the original design.

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;-)!

Cheers

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