We now have a few answers: A. They do nothing B. They blow out air similar to the dash air C. They suck stale air out of the cab Well, I can say (again) that on my Syncro, they definately suck air from the cab and the air goes "somewhere else". It sucks enough to blow out a lighted match at low speeds, and will consume all the smoke from a cigarette (when traveling at high speeds, and the cig is within 6 inches of the open part of the vent). I've looked all around the seams of my doors, and can't find anywhere the air could be flowing to... Except the Bermuda Triangle. Maybe someone who's vents blow _out_ could reach in and pull out Amelia Earhart, or Flight 17, or the crew of the Mary Celeste... -Jim
