Default What is it? (part)

88 F150

On the back/bottom edge of each door is a plastic grill. Behind the paneling there are metal grates and 4 bolts holding something. What is it?

If its what I think your talking about its for air to flow thru and also for pressure. When you shut your door it builds pressure and the pressure goes thru the vents so that you don't pop your ears.

That makes sense. Why the 4 bolts? What do they hold?
