Post Verdict on cab vents

So whats the verdict on sealing off the cab vents behind the rear seats. I thought about just sealing off one of them, but I realized that would just make the other open even more. I dont want to do anything bad to my truck, they just let in so much noise. I have been driving around with my back seat out for a few days and you can hear everything though them!

Don't forget that those vents are very important to the truck. Not only do they let air in and out of the vehicle, they help to maintain pressure accurate pressure in the truck.

If you want to cover them try putting basic foam (like what is used in the rear of the truck to support the carpeting) to cover them up.

If you seal them it sure makes it hard to close the doors. You also don't get a breeze from the ventilation system without turning the fan on, but it sure cuts down on the road noise.
