What I mean is, there may be a reason there are no covers in there?

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-5727-1316653363.jpg) OK, pure conjecture on my part.......1970 & early '71s had empty holes (there's a redundant statement). Later 914s had the black plastic grilles inserted into the opening because.... A) little kids were putting pennies and pebbles into the openings in an effort to be be "cute" (rattle,rattle,rattle) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) B) the factory decided that the vent holes looked cheap and unfinished and added the little grille (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) C)early in the 914s' existence, no one really knew what those holes in the door jambs were for, so the German engineers spec'd those little black plastic grilles to substantiate the theory that those holes were really "venting" something and therefore needed "filters" installed.
