Default passenger side rear air vent location on a 2006 Tc

How do I find and get to the passenger rear air vent? The vent that opens when you close the door to relieve air pressure. When the car was under warranty I had a squeak in the right rear and the dealer replaced the rear air vent and it fixed the squeak. The squeak is back and the car is off warranty. Any help would be greatly appreciated......jburgess56

if they replaced it in the past under warranty and the problem is back or persists, they'll still have to replace it.

at least, that's how my dealer does it...

You'll have to remove the rear bumper cover to access those vents, which is pretty simple to do.
It's a vent with rubber flaps that only open outwards to relieve cabin pressure. One on each side below the taillights if I remember correctly.

you can get to it from inside as well but it is a pain to reach........just put some lithium grease on it when you get to it and squeak gone.
