i am actually on my laptop but i have the link on my desktop. I printed it out but it is at home. It was said to be able to release air from cabin.
When my daughter (10) closes door she always references the sound of air. i will ost it when i get to it.

re
your vette is probably very well sealed with the windows up andwhen you close the door.
behind the carpet for the drivers rear quarter panel is a small panel that helps equal the pressure in the car and outside the car.
for my car the trunk needs to be pushed on to close it completly, but with a window open it closes much easier. the pressure equalization does not work as well as GM had planned.
I found the panel when I tore all the carpets out to put in sound insulation.

There is, indeed, a flapper valve in the rear driver's corner just above the storage bin that is supposed to relieve cabin pressure when the doors and hatch are closed with the windows up but it doesn't work very well.

It's on the driver's side, just to the rear of the driver's side wheel well. You'll have to peel the rear compartment carpet back to see it.
