It opens the connection from the blower box to a big fat steel tube that runs athwartships behind the dash and ends in rectangular openings at each door frame. There is a corresponding tube through each door that feeds the air into rectangular grilles in the B-pillars, then up and back to two small vents on each side at the curve of the roof.

On the Westy the left-side hole is blocked off at the front of the driver's door frame because the Westy has no vents on that side.

See how much of that setup you have...
