View Full Version : Yaris cabin "breath out" hole

Hi folks,
the previous car I drove (Mitsubishi Galant) as well as the other cars I met had a well hidden hole with rubber cap somewhere in the interior. The only purpose of the hole was to let the pressurized air flow away when closing door as in certain moment the door seal was already sealed but the door still moved towards a full close which means a pressure built up inside the cabin for short time. That hole helped to mitigate this.

That means that in my previous car I did not have to extra-SLAM the door when I was closing the last one.

Does Yaris have something like that? Probably not (or if yes then it is clogged). Because when I am closing the door I really have to extra-SLAM the last one, especially when cabin external air blower is engaged. It is not a problem of the door hardware because when I keep any window a bit opened then the problem disappears.

It is nothing major, I can live with that. Maybe this thing is only installed in some expensive limousines and not in wheeled candies like Yaris.

Seems like it would hurt your eardrums, I don't have that problem on my Yaris.

There are one way valve holes at the back of the car. You would see them on each side when the bumper cover is off.

You may have a water leak, not uncommon.
Number of threads on here about it.
Check your carpeting for moisture and the spare tire well.

Check A/C drain. Also, use the "outside air" selection on fan in cooler weather, instead of "recirculate", which is meant for cooling a hot car in summer.

Cabin pressure is relieved via the air extractors located behind the rear bumper cover. Yours may be stuck closed some how (maybe a ton of spider webs or other debris are preventing the rubber flaps from opening when the doors are shut).

Clean the inside of your windows. I noticed that if I'm lazy and haven't wiped down the inside of my windows, they fog up easier when there is an imbalance of temperature between the cabin and the ambient temp.
