Rear Cab filter ?

This is between the cab and box on my 2014 1500 5.7 Outdoorsman. Never noticed it before. I must be slow. Who would like to explain this to me.

I assume that is behind the back seat below rear window !?

Cab vents. They allow the air pressure to equalize rapidly when closing doors.

Replacing cab vents

Do I need to slide my bed back to replace my cab vents? I had a guy at a window shop tell me that I did. I found water in my storage compartment and thought my back window was leaking. He took out my rear seat and found both my cab vents were missing all the rubber flaps. I went to Dodge and...

Cab vents. They allow the air pressure to equalize rapidly when closing doors.

They also exhaust air out when the HVAC is using outside fresh air in while all windows closed.

Do a search here for cab vents. They are notorious for leaks so keep an eye out for a wet floor under the rear seat.

Replaced mine not to long ago, I have a 15’ & most of the flaps were missing, the ones left were dry rotted.
The hardest part is removing the rear seat but after that was easier than I expected.

What made you replace these? Other than our OCD?

I would occasionally find the carpet damp, I don’t have a rear window & my 3rd brake light showed no evidence of leaking.
As bad as they were, I would have thought it would’ve leaked a lot more, no leaks after the new vents.

Same here a couple years ago. Most of the flaps were missing on mine and the carpet was really damp. Replaced the vents and no more soggy carpet.

Interesting...didn't know that was an issue

Anything that’s flimsy and can weather is always an issue. See: windshield cowl.

Geno’s garage has just added these to their latest inventory.

The good news is these are listed for and the pics show chassis cab vents .
These are much better construction compared to what is currently being installed from the factory.

I found these on my truck and was able to wash and reinstall, all the flaps looked new, and there is more of a covering protecting them.

This is a superior product,like apples to oranges imo.
