console vent..
does anyone know what the sidewall vent on the passenger side console does, or connected to ? is a small vent about 1 x 2 oval shape, mine is a 2002 and not sure if it was on any other C5s. the clip is broken off and won t stay on. i may just silicone it in place to hide the hole. i can t find anywhere what it does.

Geez, I don't know. I bet my 02 has one too but I've never noticed it.

It is small so I cannot understand why it is needed.

Hey, walleyejack, I did, but not to be argumentative did you? What part of #7 "Outer half floor outlet vent. It is the air vent outlet that attaches to the inner floor duct coming down through the console. The black one is GM part #10414489." explains what the inner floor duct does as I asked? Why is it needed? What if I blocked it? Any answers would be appreciated.

I remember a thread about some C5 owners here using this piece to hold up a 2nd drink holder, one used zip tie, not sure how the other drink holder was held on.

To me it doesn t matter, i use the dbl cup c6 holder that slips under the trim and rests on the floor and is just perfect height and it covers the vent anyways.
