just curious as to what purpose the side vents on 1200 utes serve? they must be some form of air flow exit but air flow from where? just a random thought that has been bugging me... i want to know why they are there.

When your windows are closed they allow a better flow of air through the cabin from your front air vents, hope that make sense.
IE: They reduce cabin pressure to promote better airflow.

i thought it was just for helping the utes rust out faster

That too!

then your car must have heaps of them brett


haha i cracked a funny :D

and im not usre thay conect to the inside of the cabit .I thought they were vents for the rear quarters ,but im no expert !

cheers Nige, so no real harm would come if i sealed them up?

you could seal them and put the vents back on if you just want to deter the rust

have you got a build page i can check out ziggy ??

yeah mate i have 2 build pages going lol one has my black ute with SR conversion half done that has been stuck at my mums for 2 years untouched, then there is the rusty white one which was suposed to be a quick fix and be my daily but is turning into more of a complete rebuild lol i cant seem to post pics so you have to be my friend on facebook to see the pics lol

Don't they also serve to draw air through the body to help dry any condensation? That's the usual reason there are vents through the body rather than just at the back of the cabin. I don't have my book handy to check.
