Yeah, I've seen that hole in the front of the door, but it really seemed 
to me after looking at it that it was not connected AT ALL to the vent 
with the blue knob.

Interesting you should mention heat, because in all of this, there is no 
way to get heat to come out of either the vents above the windows, or the 
vents in the bottom of the doors.  Has anyone closed all the vents above 
the windows and opened the ones in the doors?  This aught to cause fresh 
air to come out of the ones in the doors.
