My journey to seal up my W204 and to Maybach the car has been going VERY well. I'll update my thread later, but I may have gone a bit too far, LOL.

Anyways, where is the exhaust hole in our W204s for cabin air? I assume it's somewhere near the back of the car? Thanks

In the trunk near the tail lamps.. except they are further down and on the sides (under the side edges of the rear bumper cover). Should have small flaps over the exteriors

Thanks. So air travels from the vents in the cabin, to the back of the car, and then I guess under the trunk, or where, before it ends up being exhausted near the tail lamps? Any chance you can show me where it is? (e.g. in a photo?)

Danke

Its not really referred to as an exhaust, more of a pressure relief for the interior of the vehicle. Closing the doors, excess pressure inside the cabin. Turning on the A/c, excess pressure inside the cabin. Sitting in a hot parking lot in the middle of summer where the interior and air gets hot, needs to have a relief of some sort (or else I'd think the windows may burst)..

I have a W211 in here right now and I'll go snap a picture of it for you.. Large black rectangle (about 4" tall by 6" wide) on either side of the rear of the vehicle with a soft rubber-like flap on the outside to prevent dust/water/debris from coming into the vehicle.

this is actually a R171 SLK55.. right rear side.. this one has a metal screen around it, but most are generally the same size, shape and location
