Thread: Internal rear panel vent replacement

The rear rubber mat that sits under the carpet in the rear cargo area was wet on the drivers side corner. Now its not the alpines cos I resealed them, so I got investigating (just finished washing it) and noticed these vents that, show signs of letting water in when washing under the guards.

Pic - the black rectangle thinggy with the rubber 'curtains'. You can see water on the bottom row and floor/wall behind the wiring.


Has anyone replace these with a solid unit so it doesnt have the vent rubber 'curtains' that let water in? I dont do deep water crossings, and strangely enough its only on the drivers side.

Want to make sure I dont get water in, so all eats for suggestions.

Thanks. ill look at options to close them permanently as i dont want wet floor and rubber mat.
