[DML] Re: Vent holes?

["James" <james@xxxxxxxxxx>]

MANY early VIN cars (maybe even yours, Jake) has a3-4" diameter hole 
in the underbody just below and the outside vent. Some stories have 
said this was to relieve pressure or even give easier access to the 
clamps holding the rear speakers in place. We've started to seal them 
up on the cars that come in here, more to reduce noise than anything 
else.
