w126 trunk vents
In the trunk, in the wells behind the rear wheels, there is a vent on each side. The vent has a grille on the inside and a rubber flap/baffle assembly on the outside. You'll find then under the side carpet sections that cover the wells.
On my car (83 300SD) the rubber baffles have rotted away and the vents let large amounts of dust into the trunk when I drive on gravel roads. Has anyone had this problem before and how did you solve it? Did you simply seal off the vents or replace them? Thanks |

Mine are in good shape. From the looks of them they can't be too expensive I would think.

Replace them with dealer new; they're not expensive. They are important because air, particularly on the W126, will circulate back in the trunk and up through the rear window platform into the cabin. That really stinks if you have an exhaust leak.
The vents are what lets air from the cabin climate system exit through the rear window platform.

They also help in closing the doors. if you close them one might notice the moonroof pop up.
