Also behind the flap is the suction plenum for the vent fan. A can of beer (or 2) can fit in there. Stays nice and cold in the winter. Or so I've been told.


That should crank up my Rep Power a few... what are those - dots?

And it appears you have a non AC truck since you have the knob to pull it off or on manually. An AC truck has a Vac line actuator to operate that vent.
