Default Air Vent

I read in a past post that somewhere in the back is a vebt to let the hot air out on C5's. Was I just seeing things? If so where is it located. it's been the hundreds here in Texas and we have problems of windows blowing out because of the heat. I ordered a cover top for the Targa top and a dash mat.

I think the vent your referring to is probably the one behind the drivers seat. It is supposed to let pressure out of the vehicle when you close the hatch or doors so you don't have to slam them. It's under the carpet, so as you can imagine, it doesn't work very well. That's the only vent I know of.

Its behind the driver seat on the side part of the trunk (imagine the opposite side of where the gas filler is) under the carpet. I believe its meant more for air pressure escape so when you shut the door or trunk, there is a release of pressure in the cabin.
