Subject:mystery vents

OK, that's the last time I say nice things about The List.  :-)
Apparently everyone was so busy patting themselves on the back after my
affirmation of their collective wisdom the other day, that nobody made
it to my questions! 

 

Here they are again: 

 

1)         Where does the exhaust air go from the vents on the lower
back corner of the front doors in a 1983 V'gon? The vents simply open
into the cavity of the doors behind the fibre board panel. No outlet. No
access to the duct (aka umbrella holder) that goes from the dash to the
door column when the door is closed. I am tempted to seal them off with
insulation.

2)         Do the holes along the bottom of the rear hatch serve any
venting or draining purpose? Or can I fill them with Great Stuff as part
of my noise insulation project?

 

Thanks for your thoughts.
