Default odd sound when closing passenger doors

theres a 'light clunk' sound coming from the rear when i close the passenger doors. im guessing it has to do with the pressure as all the windows are up.

thanks

There are vent baffles back there for cabin pressure and open when you close the door IIRC.

So there is an electric motor for this?

Never heard this but I have many years of loud music and work related sounds that have deteriorated my hearing

Not electric

I haven’t looked at mechanism closely but if you play with rear doors opening and closing you can hear them flap. I think actually fairly common on most cars these days, Seen a few on GXOR going through deep water experiencing leaks through these vents... in addition heard some suspect exhaust smells come through these baffle/vents.

So the cabin air pressure opens and closes these vents. I don't recall these and never saw a moving vent while playing around with my rear Mods.
