Re: Where's the pressure relief vent ????? (allstarcmdr)
What year do you have? My 71 has Astro Ventilation and the rear vent door stays open all the time unless I turn on the heat so I guess there is no pressure relief valve.
On a side note, a friend and I went looking at new Vetts today at lunch and the Chevy dealer had a new SSR in the showroom. I opened the passenger side door and the window went down about a 1/4 inch by itself. When I closed the door the window went back up by itself. I asked the sales person and she said that it does that to get a good window seal.......very :cool:

WTF ? :bs
I believe the only pressure release vent is in that guy's head ! :jester
What he's probably talking about is the vent at the end of the door towards the bottom (part of the Astro-ventilation ?).....anyhow I don't think that's your problem. :smash:
Is this a coupe or convertible ? ......I'm thinking it's a coupe because the 'verts aren't very airtight. :lol:
In that case, something is wrong with the weatherstrip seal aligning with the window glass edge. :crazy:

It's a ' 77 Coupe..
Also check to see how far 'up' the window glass goes. It could be that you just need to roll it up 99% and leave that 1/4 to 1/2" for the rubber to seal. What all was done / replaced at the body shop ?
It's possible that they had your door apart and didn't get the glass back in to 'factory specs'..... :nonod:

Re: Where's the pressure relief vent ????? (verskel)
We replaced the Rubber on the doors, and T-tops.. Then adjusted windows..
When Driver door is closed , Pass. dr. window doesn't seal.. BUT, with Driver
door open or window down , the Pass. dr. seals... That's why they wondered where the Pressure Relief Vent was!!! They figure it could be clogged or shut..
But have no idea where vent is... :confused:
