Sorry, I posted the "blow ambient air" one but I'm wrong.  I played with 
them today (traffic was monotonous and it was hot out) They very 
definately draw air out of the cab.  Where it goes, I don't know.  Maybe 
somewhere in your door there is a ball of air  compressed to a solid from 
all these years of being packed in there  :)
All I know is that these VENTs are great for VENTalation and so long as 
it's not too hot out, you can keep reasonably cool with these and your 
inletting VENTs open.  (Shit I can only fit it in 3 times.).
